Erik Suidman

"These pages are dedicated to the work of Dutch painter Erik Suidman. Mankind is his subject matter, but instead of capturing the beauty of the human form the emphasis lies on rendering emotions. His models are often prey to despair, either screaming in agony or resigned to passivity. Sorrow lurks in the background, where tacky wallpaper or dismal tiles abound. Desperate housewives, weeping orphans, bloodstained butchers and splattered urinals thrive in a carnival of vivid brushwork."
