"Wednesday 12th of April 1972, around 6.00 p.m."
US$8,121.88 "Wednesday 12th of April 1972, around 6.00 p.m." by Wessel Huisman, 2016, 100 x 140 cm, Acrylic on CanvasThe picture of the Bund in Shanghai triggered my inspiration. It reminded me of the promising, echoing light I saw near the seaside in 1972. Overwhelming and powerful, it is reflected by the windows, rooftops, facades, and particularly, the waterfront. The...

US$5,866.24 "Thursday morning, beginning of February 1976 around 9.00 a.m." by Wessel Huisman, 2016, 70 x 100 cm, Acrylic on CanvasNeon advertisements produce an important rhythmic element in this street view. In a very direct way, they refer to the dark and light rectangles and lines I introduce in my paintings in order to give the images a sense of...

"October 1976" by Wessel Huisman, Acrylic on Canvas
US$5,866.24 In this painting I highlight the moment when artificial light becomes more important as the twilight loses its grip. The composition is powerful. Although there’s little open space in the painting, it’s actually very spatial because of the mirror-like reflections on the left and the open stairway to the MTR. In fact, three levels of perspective are represented: aerial,...

"Morning in May 1964" by Wessel Huisman
US$8,122.48 A famous part of the Beijing skyline formed by a series of different architectural sculptures, crowned by diamond-like shapes. In the centre and on the right, the painting reveals the atmosphere of ancient times; this is then combined with modern rhythmic patterns on the left. The landscape is like a kind of chessboard on which one of the main...

"Light Side of the Moon I" by Wessel Huisman, 2016, 70 x 100 cm, Acrylic on Canv
US$5,866.24 During my visit, I saw numerous photographs and paintings of the city at night, as seen from the Kowloon side. Nonetheless, I saw an opportunity to use this iconic image in a playful way. What if all of a sudden, the lights and colours were released from their original source and started to wander through the darkness of night?...

"July 1973" by Wessel Huisman
US$5,866.24 This painting is a fete of light contrasts. The scene reminded me of long walks I made in Switzerland, small paths leading through steep crevices. In this urban landscape, towering buildings replace mountains but the effect is the same. The mirror-like buildings reflect the distant light from an invisible source. It echoes from one side of the street to...

"Friday morning, end of March 1961 around 10.30 a.m." by Wessel Huisman
US$45,500.00 A photograph I took forms the source of inspiration for Hong Kong Airport. In general, halls of airports are oversized constructions built with a minimum of materials. Because of the large open space, paradoxically, the human presence has almost dissolved. It is one great festival of shattered light, reflections and echoes. However, to direct large quantities of visitors, flexible...

"End of November 1978" by Wessel Huisman
US$6,446.41 One morning during my visit, the sky was dark and the streets were lit. The modest colours remind me of 15th century Flemish paintings, where there is scarcely a clear direction of light. I searched for a palette to match this intimate atmosphere. I reduced the natural hues to a blue grey and brown grey. I used the red...

"End of November - beginning of December 1978" by Wessel Huisman
US$6,446.41 For a long time, I have been fascinated by the twilight moment during which the sky is still coloured by the sunset. Simultaneously, artificial light from shop windows and lit interiors becomes more pronounced. I chose a warm burnt umber and a colder blue violet on the colour scale. This painting is a wash of clear warm golden brown...

"End of May 1968" by Wessel Huisman
US$6,446.41 In most of my street views I try ignore a skewed perspective. However in this painting, I was prompted to overemphasise this effect because it makes the two buildings seem as if they’re bending, almost tumbling into a dynamic composition. On the street level, there is a constant flow of people unaware of the clash of giants above their...

"End of June 1973" by Wessel Huisman
US$5,866.24
I was inspired by the rising majestic light on the upper part of the buildings on the right. It makes the towering constructions elegant, proud. Driving along this main axis, the sunlight crosses the road like a waterfall. Strong contrasts between the illuminated sections and the ones in shadow give the painting a dynamic and vital expression.
