Already in his early twenties he received important awards for his work.\u00a0Through his 50 year career, he evolved from neo-expressionist, over an ardent adept of the claire-obscure, into a remarkable unity of style which is free of any \u2013ism : a painter of light, but most of all &#8230; Hans Kitslaar. His individual style became a recognizable signature in the world of contemporary painting.<\/p>\n<p>Kitslaar finds intensive happiness in the concentration he finds every time in his painting. He continues to paint the light that gives life and growth to the fauna and flora of this and of his world.\u00a0 He depicts and paints his own perception of this miracle that mirrors and reflects in his studio and he transports it onto the canvas with light brushes and tender touches. His colour pallet always changes.\u00a0 According to the light, his mood and his virtuosity, the colour scheme changes from lighter to darker, from deeper to more transparent.\u00a0The oeuvre of Hans Kitslaar bears witness to his spontaneity and his mature composition skill and insight. Every painting gives shape to his emotions and is unique in the way it transforms these into colour and light. The colour scheme, the chosen theme, the luminosity and the incidence of the light of every work will allow to the onlooker to discover the emotions of the artist behind every stroke and touch of the paint brush.<\/p>\n<p>Hans Kitslaar always seems to breathe calmness and serenity, but inside he is continually driven by a restless search for the highest and the most sincere. And although this search seems endless, it is his driving force in life and the secret of his never fading inventivity and subtle creative identity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/?page_id=1705\"><strong>Text monographie Hans Kitslaar<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/?page_id=417\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ArtworkHK-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ArtworkHK-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ArtworkHK-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ArtworkHK-768x307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ArtworkHK.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HANS KITSLAAR \u2013 \u00b01944 \u2013 ROERMOND \u2013 THE NETHERLANDS Formation Monumental Art \u2013 Academy Maastricht \u2013 The Netherlands Formation Paint at The National Higher Institute for Beautiful Arts \u2013 Antwerp \u2013 Belgium (Rik Slabbinck) Formation Paint at St. Lucas Academy \u2013 Ghent \u2013 Belgium (Jan Burssens) Hans Kitslaar received his training at the Maastricht Art &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/?page_id=1258\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;About Hans Kitslaar_ENG&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3411,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1258","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3411"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1258"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1707,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1258\/revisions\/1707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelatemgallery.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
