Bio / Resumee / Statement:
Born in Rotterdam, Holland, Cees Penning is a self-taught photo-realist painter with deft skills honed over a career that has spanned almost five decades and three countries.
Cees(pronounced "Case")began drawing and painting in kindergarten.
Initially, his paintings were watercolors. He was attracted to a career in graphic design and graduated from the Graphic Academy in Amsterdam in the 60s, and worked as a photo-retoucher in Holland and Germany until 1974 when he moved to New York.
Once in the United States, he established a successful enterprise in
the very precise and demanding field of color transparency retouching.
But twenty years later in the mid 90s,digital media began to overwhelm
his industry and ended his retouching career
He started at the end of the 90s,for the first time to paint with oils
and has been creating portraits, nudes, exotic animals, floral and still-lifes in a the photo-realistic style for 9 years now.
A distinctive hallmark of his personal style is his ability to understand and execute a high degree of contrast between light and dark - a rare skill refined through decades of intense color-retouching work than translated into the superb works in oil he created today.
Activities:
Was in the last 4 years 3 times finalist in the Int'l Art Magazine competitions.
Was awarded in 2008 the "Living Masters" status by the prestigeous Art Renewal Center.
2008 winner "Pioneer in Realis" of The Int'l Guild of Realism
