Acquired from the artist by the present owner.
Note:
Dutch self-taught artist Hans Kanters, who achieved success in the early 1970s with his fantastical paintings, has been captivating audiences with his ‘Surrealist Theatre’ for over fifty years. Unconstrained by trends, traditions, or dogmas, Kanters carved his own path from the outset.
In 1982, he created a study for Saving Angel but was unable to realize the painting on a large canvas due to the small size of his studio. Despite this, the motif became archetypal for Kanters’ later work. Finally, in 2008, after moving into a larger studio, he was able to paint Saving Angel on this monumental scale.
Reflecting on his art, Kanters remarked: “People must be able to get more out of it than I put into it; otherwise, I have failed. It’s not just about the meaning – it’s also about the feeling, the humor and irony, the tenderness and frustration, even the anger that I try to convey.”
