Hello everyone, Just when you thought you heard the last from us here we are. Just wanted to remind everyone that you can still shop on line by visiting our on line galleries at www.bulrushesgallery.ca . Our on line galleries feature a wonderful collection of fine art and everything is 25% off the list price. While we are now off enjoying new adventures we have decided to re-open the gallery for two weekends only next summer. These weekends will coincide with the WAVE and Proutopia. We will not be available to open by appointment. We are sort of like the Rolling Stones so consider this our second annual good by tour. Here are two examples of some of the great art still available on line.
• Rudolf Bikkers RCA. Born in 1943 in the Netherlands , Bikkers was the youngest student to enter the prestigious Jan Van Eych Academy in Maastricht on a six year scholarship. He graduated with honours and emigrated to Canada in 1966. He taught art and became chair of the printmaking Dept. at Fanshawe College and later Chair of Printmaking at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. He has participated in over 23 solo exhibitions and 20 group exhibitions in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Africa, China and Japan. He was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2000 and received the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002. His works are in major public collections across Canada. This wonderful and original abstract is a monoprint so it is a one of a kind.
• Willem Hendriks (1888 – 1966) . This well-known Dutch artist is one of my favorite landscape painters. His works regularly come up for sale at major auction houses, including the likes of Christies, where they sell for anywhere from 1,200.00 to 1,500.00. A very similar piece by Hendriks is currently for sale in London with a list price of 4,950.00 pounds or the equivalent of $8,500.00 Canadian. This beautiful pastoral landscape is priced at 950.00.
Have a wonderful fall. Tim
