First of all, a good 2012 to you all who visit my site.
Above is one of the new works in process, i’m still exploring the portrait works that i made a lot in 2011. 


It’s the last week for the studio clean-out, this week there will be some drawings, 18×24 cm, and a couple of metal-boxes, also some toys i painted in 2009/2010. The works that are sold will be sended out to you tomorrow, on monday the 19th of december. Here is one of the boxes, with a bird inside, and it’s up in the Store.


The end of 2011 is almost here, and i do a kind of ”studio-cleanout” that means that i will put like 10 small works in the next 2 weeks in the ‘Store’ section, for a reduced price. Small drawings will be available for 60 euros in stead of 90,-, and small canvasses from 225,- euros will go for 150,-.
so this is your chance to pick up a small work at the end of the year. The store will be updated this sunday the 11th of december.
And i made a deal with Santa, the shippingcosts are arranged by the good man, so you don’t have to pay for shipping, worldwide.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
…
Dirty Diaries is a series of work based upon personal experiences of van der Sluijs with life and death in 2010 and 2011, the dirty way death can grab someone you love, and the great joy of receiving new life. These emotions reflect the body of paintings and drawings that are presented at Ruttkowski68.
