Berend Strik – Thixotropy
Published by Valiz 2009
I see Berend Strik as a painter, one that dose not touch paint or
brushes. Like Richter he is challenging both painting and photography.
He layers the image with painters eye and adjusts the light and
texture like a painter. So in my mind that is what he is.
I consider Berend a friend so I know he might let me get away with
this statement, but I want him to start announcing this himself
because Painting would have a new champion – something as a medium it
dearly needs.
This is an early piece of Berend’s. It’s so dense and almost abstract
– it’s like his Leon Kossoff period!! Sorry Berend.
