A work by the Dutch artist Jan Grotenbreg (Alkmaar, 1946), depicting a sparrow.
Painted with acrylic paint on cement applied to canvas, stretched on a wooden stretcher frame. Not framed, because it is meant to hang on the wall.
-The work is signed on the back of the canvas and on the edge of the wooden stretcher frame. Also provided with the artist's name stamp.
In 2000, Jan Grotenbreg added a new (more earthy) dimension to his work, when he started experimenting with cement on linen as a rough base for a representation. The result has often been compared to medieval wall paintings, the so-called fresco, painted in wet lime.
Jan Grotenbreg about this technique: 'The base layer with cement is unique, the technique is not common. Cement is a building material and does not stick to canvas. After much experimentation I found a solution for this problem with modern binders. The texture and composition of the cement to be applied is an important part of my work, in which experience is the teacher”.
