Sietse Goverts’ paintings are characteristic for their use of color, the layering and the ‘skin’ full of exciting structures. Form and no form. The movement this evokes makes his work lively and dynamic. The use of oil paint enriches the appearance.
There is always the light as a lure to other spheres. The work is experienced as idiosyncratic, fascinating and vital.
Sietse Goverts can best be described as someone who is guided by ‘weightlessness’ without anyone seeing it.
Like a silently fluttering butterfly, whispering about the desire for harmony… Playful and free.
The effect of his travels, contemplations, urge to create manifest themselves in lyrical and abstract landscapes and figurations with the silence behind them as witness.
His works invite you to wander around, to connect with your own dreams; looking and experiencing is mainly what his paintings are all about.
Sietse Goverts lives and works in the Netherlands and France; attended, among others, the Academy for Visual Arts in Utrecht and the Academy for Visual Education in Amersfoort. Exhibiting internationally since 1977.
