Exhibition at the Maison des Arcades.

Beddington Fine Art is proud to present the new paintings and a sculpture of Ramon Otting in Maison des Arcades in Ville de Grimaud. In the new wildflower series of the dutch painter/sculptor Ramon Otting (1969) it’s all about the rough, wild and loving nature and the way it takes it’s course. He did the inspiration for his wildflower paintings in the the Provence.

“I went along, at Ramon, in his atelier. Benggg! Suddenly it was high summer, and I was a child, laying in a field of wildflowers completely fascinated by what I saw and heard: colors and beauty, but also a jungle, full of buzzing and crackling, and thousands of small beetles and weevils and insects who were reproducing, eating and, in turn, were eaten...” Annejet van der Zijl (Dutch Author).

Everything happens in the landscape As Ramon Otting put’s it; “I’d love to literally transfer nature’s behavior to canvas. To be able to paint like that is like almost merging with nature, even though there’s always some sense of shaping the image. But of course this is never attainable, this can only happen in nature. Sometimes you can also go too far, so you fall over, but that’s good too. You’re done then. In the end it’s all about the endeavor, because we can never really reach nature’s perfection. We’ll always be confronted with our shortcomings and insignificance.

But it is in front of us humans in the perseverance, in the road to the goal.”
