I am a brother of Evert Hartgers †, my name is Willem Hartgers and the owner of his artworks this collection I have given myself the name EH PAINTING ARTS.
Evert had brain stem inflammation in 2014 and passed away in 2018.
Evert did not see himself as an artist but as a hobbyist. Everyone can make their own judgement on that after seeing his oeuvre but I have a different opinion: an arty hobbyist.
He does not hide his affinity with the great painter Piet Mondriaan. He has been Evert's greatest source of inspiration. His style resembles Piet Mondrian's. Without being guilty of naming it or perhaps misnaming it. Nature line there have been many more great examples that have been a great inspiration.
Evert started in 1986 and, after visiting a few museums, completely fell under the spell of modern abstract art. Before that, he did knot rugs and crafts. But painting only started after 1986. He has a preference for blue which can be seen in almost all his works.
