Deafening stillness abounds in the landscapes painted by Frank Dekkers, an artist who portrays the man-made landscape of Holland. And with unspoiled nature virtually non-existent in the Netherlands, the thought that every shovelful of earth in the Netherlands has – at sometime – been worked by man, is a grim one indeed. Dekkers paints what is left of no man’s land: no man, no animal on the land, no bird, no house; a landscape that has no need of anything outside itself.

Thieme Art publishers is publishing the book Oorverdovend stil (Deafening stillness). Besides the normalhard-cover version a ‘the luxe’ edition is presented in a box with bound-in two lithographs and, apart from te book, two woodcuts. All text ( by Dick Adelaar, Bianca Ruiz, Christina Hosman and Jeroen Hermkens) will be in Dutch language, but the photography will prevail.

This book offers a first vieuw on all different techniques that Frank Dekkers uses. A special quire is the photopgraphic report on a days painting, by Rick Strooper. Reproductional photography Ben Vulkers. Bookdesign by Frans Nies.

There is more information to be found at: Thieme Art and de KunstSalon.
