ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY @OPAANDOMAART
We have been proud grandparents of our first grandchild since early 2024. From that capacity, Gerhard has resumed his old love for (abstract) photography. He photographs everything to do with being a grandparent, except our grandchild himself (well, he sometimes photographs them but never publishes them here). His best photos can now also be found and ordered here, of course in a separate album set up for this purpose (Photos).
SUSTAINABLE ART @HOU2USE
Unique, affordable, personalised and sustainable art, portraits and gifts handmade with paint remnants on old, used or discarded waste wood.
We are Gerhard van Dijkhuizen and Colet Scheper. Together, we came up with the concept hou2use. Based on a photo, we invent, design and make unique, personal, affordable and above all sustainable art on wood. We are strongly committed to sustainability, which is why we prefer to make portraits of people or (domestic) animals with paint on used or discarded waste wood.
We are most fond of commissioned art. We then devise and create, together with you and especially for you, a custom-made work of art or portrait on waste wood.
Thanks to our special collaboration with Werk aan de Muur, you can also reproduce our unique work in almost any format and on almost any material!
