"Blankert stares pensively at his own painting tools from a distance. The division between the artist and the still life of brushes, squeeze-tubes of acrylic paint and used palettes is reinforced by the door frame. At the same time, the doorway creates an imaginary frame for Blankert's self portrait. What does Blankert have on his mind? Is he pondering a work in the making or do the brushes remind him of how a past painting came to be?" http://www.ing.com/ING-in-Society/Art/Search-in-Collection/
