Die niederländische Künstlerin Escha van den Bogerd, die sich Ihr Handwerk auf ganz klassische Weise durch Studienreisen nach Österreich und Italien, bzw. das Studium der Klassiker Ihrer Heimat angeeignet hat, überzeugt in ihren gelungenen Bildern vor allem durch die gekonnte Gegenüberstellung malerischer Sinnlichkeit und erotischer Askese, deren vielfältiger Reiz nicht nur in der Nacktheit an sich, sondern in jener Stimmung liegt, die sinnlich - erotische Momente stets zu umgeben pflegt. Diese "bezirzende" Stimmung findet sich auch in den Arbeiten van den Bogerds und entwickelt so einen unnachahmlichen romantischen Duft.

Escha
van den Bogerd was born in The Hague, Holland where she attended the
Rudolf Steiner school, a school with many art subjects including
painting, drawing and art history. After
leaving school Escha followed several art courses around Europe,
including Florence, Italy, Salzburg, Austria and her home country
Holland. Escha
uses a method of painting in which abstraction and figurative images
combine and reinforce each other’s effect. She
is an artist of exceptional intensity whose dynamic and poetic
abstractions and faces display profound sensitivity and a great
emotional power. Vital
in attack and detail and brilliant in color her energetically
composed acrylic paintings radiate an aura of spirituality, which
suggests the Orient, although their formal characteristics are
wholly in the contemporary European tradition. Her
first painting she sold in the town of Kitzbuehel in Austria where
she lived and worked for 3 winters. Many
years of traveling followed to places such as The Middle East, most
of Asia, Europe, Australia New Zealand and US. It
was In New Zealand where she remained for more then 4 years and
where she started exhibiting her paintings in galleries all over the
country. Exhibitions followed in Japan, Europe and US. Recent
projects include commission work such as portraits, travel themes
and work for art publishers in Europe, as well as Murals for
children and adults. Leeuweriklaan
