Jasper van Putten: Netherlands
Jasper van Putten's primary interest is in the relationship between landscape and people. Trained as a printmaker at "Utrecht School of the Arts", Jasper combines a clear sense of draftsmanship characteristic of printmaking with the directness, spontaneity, and fluidity of the watercolor medium.
He combines Plein air painting and sketching with studio painting to convey the atmosphere, light, and a sense of space that are characteristic of a place.
Born in the Netherlands, Jasper first came to Basel while studying Northern Renaissance Art History in the United States, researching city views from this period. While studying and living in Basel, he fell in love with the city, which subsequently features prominently in his paintings.
Jasper's work has been exhibited in solo, duo, and group exhibitions in the Netherlands, the United States, Italy, and Switzerland.
