Os marinheiros 2026 90 x 90 cm Something a little different made during my residency at @padastudios this past month in Portugal. This is my first time exhibiting my experiments using homemade true gesso and egg tempera. We were encouraged to source materials from Barreiro, the site of our studios. I found this strange circular panel and curious door with a peephole. Viewers at our final exhibition could peer through the hole, which framed the suspended, double-sided painted panel.

+ @hansifrans PADA 55 Hans Frans Mulleners (b. 1994) is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist based in Haarlem, the Netherlands. Hans Frans’ journey as a painter grew out of his background as a trained woodworker and furniture designer. It began when he started applying paint to scrap wood in his workshop, intuitively allowing the grain and texture of the wood to shape the narrative. He primarily works with reclaimed wood, embracing its inherent qualities – the grain, warped surfaces and textures – as starting points for form and color. Spontaneous gestures intertwine with techniques drawn from centuries-old Northern Renaissance panel painting traditions, including tempera, true gesso, oil paints and natural pigments which he concoct and mix himself. His process also incorporates the history of carpentry through methods such as ebonizing, staining and carving the wood. Thematically, his work explores human interaction, often inspired by personal memories or amalgamations of places he has visited, seen or imagined. + Hans Frans Mulleners (nascido em 1994) é um artista multidisciplinar autodidata que vive em Haarlem, na Holanda. A trajetória de Hans Frans como pintor surgiu da sua formação como marceneiro e designer de móveis, começando a partir da aplicação de tinta em pedaços de madeira em sua oficina, permitindo intuitivamente que os veios e a textura da madeira moldassem a narrativa. Hans trabalha principalmente com madeira recuperada, abraçando as suas qualidades inerentes — o veio, as superfícies deformadas e as texturas — como pontos de partida para a forma e a cor. Gestos espontâneos entrelaçam-se com técnicas extraídas das tradições centenárias da pintura em painéis do Renascimento do Norte, incluindo têmpera, gesso verdadeiro, tintas a óleo e pigmentos naturais que ele mesmo inventa e mistura. O seu processo também incorpora a história da carpintaria através de métodos como ebanização, coloração e escultura da madeira. Tematicamente, o seu trabalho explora a interação humana, muitas vezes inspirado por memórias pessoais ou amalgamações de lugares que visitou, viu ou imaginou.

In order to keep a wooden panel from warping you need to seal both sides. This time I decided to take some pleasure in the proces by doing a lil painting on the back.
