Enter a colorful world full of giant flowers by Theo Leijdekkers.

Step into a garden that needs paint, not water. In Gardens of Paint Marvel at Theo Leijdekkers' enormous flower paintings. Irises, sunflowers, and hollyhocks burst from the canvas. Full of color, full of movement, full of life.

Immerse yourself in color and contrast

Leijdekkers paints on a large scale and with powerful brushstrokes. Each canvas is a sensual experience of light, shadow, and color. His flowers are not sweet, but grand and present. You are absorbed by them. Not a garden to stroll in, but one to disappear into.

Summer exhibition at Willemsoord

This exhibition is at Kunstuitleen Den Helder, Willemsoord. Combined with a visit to Kunst & Kitchen, it makes for a stimulating day out. Please note the summer break: the Kunstuitleen is closed on several days in July and August.

A unique opportunity for painting enthusiasts

The exhibition runs from Saturday, July 5th, to Sunday, September 21st. It's a fantastic opportunity to experience Leijdekkers' work in person. The color alone makes it worth it.

Roel and Jos Maalderink, known from the satirical VPRO TV program Plakshot, made an immediate impression with their theater debut, and so the brothers are back with the successful revival of their cabaret show Verbroedering. People often find it hard to believe that Roel and Jos are brothers because they are so different from each other.
