PETER ROYEN ('23) is a dutch
painter who stayed in Germany
after his studies.
His way of working fitted very
well in the intentions (context) of gallery .31
and its tradition: searching
for and exhibiting the species of
informal working artists.
The reason for his living in
Germany is unknown,
but in those days more artists
were doing the same, (ARMANDO,
HERMAN DE VRIES)
may be there was something
to be found in post-war
Germany that feeded their minds.
This work by PETER has a touch
of darkness and is, at the same
time, mysterious. There is
a lot to guess, something
unknown, and yet it is there!
