Paul Dikker
Paul Dikker is an independent, internationally working visual artist. With his clear, adventurous non-figurative paintings and drawings he creates his own, versatile and open universe without fixed meanings. The Finnish cultural anthropologist Paavali Virtanen described his work in 2018 as peripheral sentensialism. Dikker completed his art education at the Dutch National Academy of Fine Art, (in Dutch, Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten) and graduated cum laude in political science from the
University of Amsterdam. For a year now, he has been creating his art in the peace and quiet of his new studio in the French countryside. Previously, he worked for many years in Norway and Portugal. He exhibits his work at home and abroad. In 2010, the book, Alt det som er (All there is) was published in Norway, which he produced together with the Norwegian writer, Bjørn Sortland. Dikker is active in various boards (including Pictoright) and writes articles about art, art policy and entrepreneurship. In
addition, he is the publisher of the WAW magazine. Dikker is a member of the Dutch Professional Association of Visual Artist, (in Dutch abbreviated, “BBK”) and the Dutch "Society Arti et Amicitiae”. His work is in the possession of Teylers Museum, Oslo Museum, provinces Flevoland and North Holland, CBK Southeast, Spaarne Hospital Haarlem, University of Amsterdam, Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Social Economic Council of the Netherlands, Municipality of Diemen, ING, Shell and many other companies, institutions and private individuals in Belgium, Curaçao, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and the United States. In 2006, Dikker’s painting "Somewhere" was on the shortlist of five finest Dutch art works of the past fifty years (FKU).
