#9 In conversation with Frank Creton

Join us Friday for a Q&A with artist Frank Creton at Meterhuisje

EN

Join us Friday June 30 at 17:00 for a Q&A with artist Frank Creton. Creton is known for his captivating and thought-provoking paintings. He will be open for questions about his creative process, inspirations, and the stories behind his most notable pieces.

Frank L. Creton (born 20 December 1941) is an artist. He grew up in the Coronie district, a rural area with distinctive tall coconut palms. His painted memories of the area from his childhood seem timeless. All kinds of images remained on his retina when he had crossed the ocean to the Netherlands after his years in Paramaribo. He settled permanently in Amsterdam.His abiding love became working in oils – an overwhelming experience.

“You paint with everything – with your nose, with your ears, with your enthusiasm, there was paint everywhere.” (Frank Creton)

During this manifestation, you’ll have the opportunity to ask Creton questions. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a fellow artist, or simply curious about the inner workings of a creative mind, join us at Meterhuisje Westerpark.

NL

Schuif vrijdag 30 juni om 17:00 uur aan voor een Q&A met kunstenaar Frank Creton. Creton staat bekend om zijn fascinerende en prikkelende schilderijen. Hij staat open voor vragen over zijn creatieve proces, inspiraties en de verhalen achter zijn meest bekende werken.

Frank L. Creton (geboren op 20 december 1941) is een kunstenaar. Hij groeide op in het Coronie district, een landelijk gebied met kenmerkende hoge kokospalmen. Zijn geschilderde herinneringen aan het gebied uit zijn kindertijd lijken tijdloos. Er bleven hem allerlei beelden op het netvlies staan toen hij na zijn jaren in Paramaribo de oceaan overstak naar Nederland. Zijn grote liefde werd het werken met olieverf – een overweldigende ervaring.

Je schildert met alles – met je neus, met je oren, met je enthousiasme, overal was verf.” (Frank Creton)

Tijdens deze manifestatie kun je Creton vragen stellen. Of je nu een kunstliefhebber bent, een collega-kunstenaar of gewoon nieuwsgierig naar de innerlijke werking van een creatieve geest, kom naar Meterhuisje Westerpark.

#26: Script 1: Whispers (Tell The Waters What The Clay Kept Secret II), by Ola Hassanain

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
