INTRODANS 25TH ANNIVERSARY
Commission Introdans, Arnhem, the Netherlands, 1996

THE TWO OF US
acrylic paint on canvas, each 120 x 90 cms. & 40 x 30 cms.

Commission for an artwork at the occasion of the 25th anniversary of dance company Introdans. Is was also a personal gift for the founding fathers of Introdans, Ton Wiggers and Hans Focking.
I made a diptych, two paintings that toast to one another. Separated the works can exist as autonomous paintings. Each work is a metaphorical portrait: the scenery behind the curtains show the directors personal fingerprints and annotations. On the wineglasses are their initials 'engraved'.

The diptych is hanging in the building of Introdans. Therefore I also painted two little personal paintings in deliberation with both directors. These 'finishing touch paintings' they could take home with them.
