A Practice rooted in Old Master Discipline
Working in oil and egg tempera, Edwin IJpeij builds paintings through a layered process informed by early Netherlandish technique. His work brings Old Master discipline into a contemporary approach to the female figure, with an emphasis on stillness, presence and material precision.
