Artworks: 19
Jos Kivitis’s paintings are pure and honest and every brushstroke speaks of his unfailing dedication to the traditions of the masters – layer upon layer, stroke by stroke. No spray painted short cuts or computer aided correction, no pre gridded lines, projection, camera obscura, or anything considered ‘modern’ is used in his work; only a setup of objects, flowers, people or imagination will pass his strict standards. The harmony of colour and composition are according to the style of the ageless Dutch and Flemish masters.
Jos Kivitis’ work can really only be appreciated when seen in real life. A photograph has the tendency to show the top layer and not the depth revealed through the thin transparent layers of glaze which ultimately creates an unsatisfactory flat representation due to the limitations of a camera lens. Put simply, photos do not do this kind of art justice.
The works of Jos have been curated and priced by Armand Akoun, France. See “Le cote des peintres 2020” as well as its 2021 edition.
Kivits has been an established professional artist for decades, with many “one man” exhibitions in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Australia, as well as joint exhibitions with other well known artists, and is found in many exquisite art collections and investment portfolios around the world.
Finalist in the 2022 Art Lovers Australia Prize.
