English summary: Paul van Ernich
|
Paul van Ernich,( born in Oss, Holland,
1960) used to be a youngster in the
seventies, a student psychology in the
eighties and a steady growing classical
painter since the nineties of the last
century.
Remarkable about his career is the
way he became more and more
interested in classical painting after
being confrontated with modern art
forms for almost twenty years.
|
Aspects like ego, concepts or worldcommentary
in actual art slowly made
place for craftsmanship, romanticism
and mythology. The works of van
Ernich reflect these changes in preference.
First abstract-expressive,
cubistic, later impressionistic (with its
tendency towards realism) growing
into classical painting.
Mid-nineties Paul went to live in
Brittany (France) where he studied old
masters like Velasquez, Vermeer and
Caravaggio. After his return, knowing
he lacked technical support, he found
a ‘master’ in the person of Cornelis
LeMair: One of the very few dutch
painters who specialized in 17thcentury
techniques. More and more,
van Ernich became capable of understanding
the richness and poetic
aspects of his Dutch ancestors.
Painters like Claesz, Heda, Kalf,
Vermeer and Rembrandt , showed us
their personal truth casted into a mall
of absolute beauty. Thus, according to
van Ernich, the standard for quality in
painting was set in the past and still
seems to be the big challenge for the
future…..
