Impressions artworks by Klaas Gubbels
Klaas Gubbels has become famous for his still lifes of mainly tables, chairs and coffee pots. He uses the combination of words and visual art more often.
Gubbels seeks his subjects in the purest, platonic form. No line is redundant. He does not draw a coffee pot but describes poetry, aggression or, on the contrary, dullness. Beauty is unreal and gets in the way of the highest good, truth. Making a beautiful painting does not amount to anything. But a good painting, that which ís, that is different.
