Johannes Eerdmans

The Frisian artist Johannes Eerdmans was born October 15, 1950, in Sneek, Holland and grew up in Bolsward. He has developed a style reminiscent of the Dutch Romantic School.

During his childhood Johannes developed his natural talent, drawing the sailing ships near his home town. After his formal education he went on to study at the Leeuwardian Academy of Art, the “Vredeman de Vries Stichting”. The current trends with a bias towards abstract art did not satisfy his natural talent for fine detailed work.

He therefore created a new direction for his work by drawing and painting in a style of his own. Although, still life paintings are his preference, he also paints landscapes and marine subjects. The longer he paints the higher his esteem for the old Dutch masters becomes; and without actually having a certain preference, Johannes Eerdmans work gives distinct evidence of his inspiration.

Johannes’ work can be found exhibited in leading galleries throughout the UK and seen reproduced on many gift cards and published as limited edition prints.
