The cross-fertilization of sculpting and painting shows in the work of Bart van Hoek through powerful, flowing lines and shapes. Woman’s body language and emotions are being crystallized and then captured in a sculpture or painting. The paintings show a variety of colours and use of light that brings to mind the Dutch skies as painted by the old masters.
With a big gesture and refined finish the fascination of Bart van Hoek for the female figure takes shape: "I am stunned myself. It never ends. Woman keeps inspiring me." - Bart van Hoek -
