"Hawthorne" Exhibition by Joost Peter van Hasselt
"Hawthorne" is an upcoming exhibition by fine artist Joost Peter van Hasselt in the Ennis Museum.
Joost (pronounced Yoast like toast) is a painter, visual artist based in Ballycasey Co. Clare.
JP was educated at the Royal Academy of the Arts KABK in the Hague, the Netherlands, completing his studies in Utrecht at HKU with a BFA Bachelor of Fine Art with honours at age 27.
His colourful upbringing in Malawi, the warm heart♥️ of Africa, opened a doorway to express the beauty around him through drawing and painting. Moving to Zimbabwe in the mid 1990s in adolescence further paved the way for the marvel and wonder encountered on the artists journey.
Botswana later in life cemented his place as a professional visual artist & son of the soil ~ with exhibitions at the National Gallery in Gaborone.
Now 44, "Hawthorne" is JPs debut exhibition in Ireland showcasing the magic, earthly and celestial inspiration; vibrant, at times muted ~ on a frequency unique to the Emerald Isle. The ebb and flow of the tides the pulse and pull drawing you in.
