ERIC & ROBYN WERKHOVEN - ABOUT ARTISTS

Eric and Robyn Werkhoven have lived and worked as professional contemporary artists in the Hunter Valley since 1988. Both are award winning artists and have been Finalists in major Australian art prizes.

Their work has been selected for exhibitions nationally and internationally. In 2013 they established the successful Arts and Literary online magazine – Studio La Primitive Arts Zine. Their collaborative works are a celebration of everyday life “exploring the world of human caprice, with sheer delight and a touch of irony”. The artist’s individual styles are evident in these works; Robyn’s passion for portraiture and figuration, and Eric’s stylised mythical beasts and human creatures, as is their shared attraction to bold colour. Their styles come together complementing each other, creating energetic and powerful work – Two artists’ forty three-year journey is enriched by each other’s thoughts, dreams, desires, hopes and fears.

A perpetual intrigue with the mysteries and absurdities of man’s existence.
