Photo exhibition by Janny Wierenga in Oldenzijl about artist Geurt van Dijk

Photographer Janny Wierenga followed painter Geurt van Dijk (82) from Eppenhuizen with her camera for two years. The result was on display last Saturday, March 30, during an exhibition in the church of Oldenzijl.

A special photo exhibition in Oldenzijl that was opened by cultural history teacher at the University of Groningen, Rosemarijn Bügel.

In the Dagblad van het Noorden a nice report by Frank van von Hebel, in which he writes; That’s how she prefers to see him: unsophisticated. The retired community nurse was pointed out to the artist two years ago by her daughter-in-law who lives in Oldenzijl. “I have been working as a photographer for thirty years and I am always looking for people I can follow for a while, people who have a story. Geurt was a treasure trove for me, a journey of discovery. This exhibition is a window into his reality.

A special exhibition and definitely worth visiting.
