Hi!
Nice
that you are interested in my world of mystic shades, funky colors, and
crazy lines. I am a Dutch painter, textile artist, and upcycler. Since 1990 I have been working with oil paint, charcoal, and graphite. Around the year 2000, I also started working on a computer with a pen tablet. In 2010, I extended my work field with textiles and applied art. The
characteristics of my work are artisanal, small-scale, and
neo-folklorist. The
name Pixelpolly was invented in a spontaneous mood while working on the
computer with timelines, filters, and effects. (Pixel Polly is a
scattering, exploding effect in Adobe After Effects).
Work has been shown at the textile museum Bussemakerhuis in Borne, the National Theater Hall in Utrecht (paintings & video walls), the Museum of resistance in Amsterdam (installation), at the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week, and during the annual Museum Night of Rotterdam.
Het kleutercollege is a unique teaching program for groups 1/2 developed by Amsterdam artist Ageethe Groenendaal.
On this unusual school day, the preschoolers experience a small theater piece, engage in philosophical discussions together, sculpt with clay, paint with watercolors, create collages, and more. Find more info (in Dutch) on www.kleutercollege.nl

Washing instructions
The following applies to all Pixelpolly clothes: wash at 30 degrees or colder. By hand, or in a washing bag in the machine. use a delicate wash program and mild soap (wool/silk). All knitwear: dry flat.
You don't have to wash wool! Wool has the fantastic property that it cleans itself, just hanging it out overnight. (outside or in the bathroom when you shower) is sufficient. If you still want to wash it, wash cold by hand, dry flat.
To prevent microplastic waste, I use the laundry bag from Guppy Friend, which can be purchased at several eco shops. Let's make this world a better place!

Dutch Sustainable Fashion week 2022 Exhibit Kalverstraat Amsterdam
I was so happy to host Teguh Hartanto (silkscreen prints), Nissim Men (city portraits), Irene Janze (installations), Tijmen Meijer (3D interactive) & Quintus Glerum (robotic creature). Music performance by The Poofters Froth Wyoming plans ahead.
The textile sculpture was exhibited on a bed. The bed was decorated with text & drawings, accomplished by students from the St. Joost Academie Breda.
It was holding the book " Art & Lies" by Jeanette Winterson. Besides the bed, an old overhead projector was placed with the intro text from this book. It explains the alienation and the timelessness of art.

September VRIJPLAATS FESTIVAL Former Bijlmer Bajes Amsterdam
The street art performance was located at the futuristic train station in Arnhem. This event was part of the traveling exhibition FACE TIME, of foundation "Kunst en Cultuur in Beweging". The theme was Identity in society. The public space performance was supported by Awearness Fashion. It was an interactive performance staged by Eco-nymphs dressed up in trash fashion: garments and accessories all made of waste textiles. The intention was to give the traveler a loving but sustainable message with sweet music, hand kisses, perfume, and eco-glitter.
Warning: this show was not visible for those who don't believe in fairy tales!
Before the performance. The preparations.
