In 2017 and 2018 Rien has mainly focussed on his pen drawings. A number of them have a nostalgic twist, the others are portraits of artists, composers, movie stars.
Rien has produced a series of paintings with the Zeeland theme: From Vlissingen to Koudekerke. In the following movie Rien explains his passion for Zeeland (in the Dutch language).
Geometry without being geometric, hard edges with soft lines, colourful and yet transparent, such are the works of art of Rien Verschuur, artist in Amsterdam. Inspired by Rembrandt, Picasso and Einstein, he is fascinated by the phenomenon light.

Some 15 years ago the majority of Rien's art production were pen drawings, colourfull and with unexpected details. Slowely and surely he has gone back to his roots, and produced mainly acrylic paintings on canvas. Besides those, he makes also all kind of smaller objects to accomodate those who have not so much money to spend. Every painting and pen drawing is unique.
In 2011, Rien has celebrated his 65th birthday and also being a creative artist for 40 years.
A number of Rien´s friends have taken the initiative to publish a book "A journey in time with Rien Verschuur".
Over 500 copies of the book, a 80-page hardcover edition, have already been sold.
The books are becoming a collector´s item, a limited number is still available for €25.00 a piece (plus €7.50 for shipping). Just contact Rien by telephone.
The book contains only text in the Dutch language, but has also been translated into English by
