Tom Booij

 Atelier Artom, previously located in Amsterdam, Nuth and Rotterdam, is located just outside the built-up area of ​​Noordgouwe, Schouwen-Duiveland, in the middle of the Zeeland countryside. 

Tom Booij (Amsterdam, 1961) works here as a visual artist. 

Paintings: 

The intention is that the viewer is attracted and touched by a combination of subtlety, expression, softness and strength.  

The paintings arise from an intuitive process without a predetermined plan or idea. Layer upon layer he uses various media such as acrylic, watercolour, pencil, chalk, sand and pure pigments on canvas; mixing usually takes place on the canvas. 

Sponging, splashing, dripping, turning, blow-drying, scratching and applying structure with fingers and wedges, among other things. The brush is rarely used. 

Spatial work: 

A combination of recycled material (produced and used or natural material), clay, wood and/or plastic, painted or varnished. Also clay figures with a humorous slant. 

Graphic work: 

Not yet developed, such as silkscreen and linocut 

Photography: 

Mainly archive material; with nature and/or traces of man in nature as subject. The intention is to pick up photography again in due course, possibly with other themes.
