This is quirky drawing of an airplane-shaped airship with a nod to the Michelin man, from a series of prints by Dutch artist, René Boin (1953). What the number 98 represents on the stripes of the Dutch national colours is a mystery. You can see the coast and a small village in the background. Boin has developed a quirky style and loves to work with pencils. His favourite subject matters are the countryside, travel and sports. As with the other screen prints, this one is also signed, number 272 out of 400. René Boin (1953) trained at the art academy (ABK) in Arnhem. He specialises in drawings and paintings from extremely small (drawings on watch faces) to extremely large (murals). He has had exhibitions since 1978. A characteristic feature in his work is the distinctive use of colour pencils in combination with paper texture, bright colours and subjects in a continuous movement. People, animals and ordinary objects are put in a unexpected context or suggest an action in the immediate future. His work will often prompt a smile. And it will certainly give food for thought. You can see some of his other work here. Framed: Yes, framed into a Nielsen metallic frame with glass. Dimensions: 3 0 x 40 cm without frame, 36×41 cm with frame. Signed: Hand signed by pencil. The print and the frame will be carefully packaged and insured for posting. Sorry, no buyers with less than 15 feedbacks. Nederlandse schilder Rene Boin, 1953. Opleiding: ABK Arnhem, maakt tekeningen en schilderijen van klein (tekeningetjes in horloges) tot heel groot (muurschilderingen) en exposeert sinds 1978. Karakteristiek zijn de herkenbare potloodtechniek met optimaal gebruik van de papierstructuur, de heldere kleuren en de onderwerpen, waarbij beweging een steeds terugkerend thema is. Mensen, dieren en voorwerpen worden midden in een beweging vastgelegd of suggereren door hun combinatie een actie in de nabije toekomst. Dieren, sport en machines zijn favoriete onderwerpen. De toeschouwer wordt soms aan het lachen gemaakt en in ieder geval aan het denken gezet. De zeefdrukken zijn uitgegeven door de verzekeringmaatschappij: De Nederlandse Luchtvaartpool N. Aan het eind van het jaar ontvingen medewerkers een zeefdruk van Rene Boin cadeau.
