Jaco Kranendonk and Paulus De
Groot are both artists from the Atelier
Herenplaats in Rotterdam, Holland. The Herenplaats is an extraordinary
studio
working exclusively with mentally handicapped artists who come to the
Herenplaats with unique talents. The studio provides technical
instruction to
enable these artists to exhibit their work. Kranendonk draws and paints
cityscapes of Rotterdam, focusing on the transportation systems. His
black,
web-like renderings and personal perspectives are joined with his own
sense
of color and contrast. De Groot paints brightly colored figures and
shapes
bubbling with primacy. These forms appear to be innocent
self-explorations
but are actually imbued with powerful undercurrents.
