NL artist Kees Goudzwaard is currently in residency in Ireland

NL artist Kees Goudzwaard is currently in residency in Ireland, bringing us a glimpse of his life and works in progress.

These days Kees has been staying and creating in a historical stone house located about two miles from the picturesque fishing village of Glandore, offering wide views of untouched countryside, beautiful Irish coastline, and distant islands beyond. 

Kees is participating in the residency program of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, which perpetuates the vision of Anni and Josef Albers through exhibitions, publications, education, and outreach concomitant. Anni Albers (1899-1994) is widely recognized as one of the most innovative textile artists of the 20th century, infusing modernist concepts into traditional craftsmanship. Josef Albers (1888-1976), known for his abstract paintings and color studies, has influenced minimalism, color field painting, and abstract art. Having held positions at the Black Mountain College and Yale University, he left behind a valuable aesthetic and intellectual legacy, which the foundation continues to benefit artists.

We look forward to hearing more updates from Kees across the Atlantic.
