28-29 October 2023, Drukkunstbeurs Amersfoort
For the second time we took part in Amersfoort, at the drukkunstbeurs, organised by drukwerkindemarge. We presented all of our editions (11).
Like last year, it was very sociable - we met old friends again and were impressed by all the creative and interested enthusiasts of old and new printing techniques! Many thanks especially to Sander Pinkse and his team for making the event and organisation run so smoothly.
See you next year in autumnea
7-8 October 2023, Open Ateliers The Hague
In October, shortly after her birthday, Lisanne had the opportunity to exhibit in the studio of goldsmith Marlies van Velzen in The Hague, Prinsegracht 14a. Both knew each other from Galerie Zone, Leiden, where Lisanne had her first solo exhibition in 2022.
The point of contact is both interest and passion for trees and natural structures. Marlies translates these into her jewellery as well as into small sculptures, which she forms from a material mix of wood, copper and zinc.
The two days were successful (5 etchings sold!) and well attended - many thanks to Marlies for her hospitality! And of course thanks to Gregor for helping and driving!
September-November 2023, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
....Also not in the big museum, but in the staff canteen Lisanne presents 5 of her trees: 3 of the old beech tree (Begraafplaats Groenesteeg, Leiden) and 2 of Cuypers’ Wingnut, the oldest living sculpture of the Rijksmuseum.
You can visit the exhibition until end of November together with Lisanne!
23-24 September 2023, Kunstroute Leiden
For the third time we join in! This time with new oil paintings by Burkhardt, defining his summer in his own garden 2023.
Also, as part of the donateursdag of the Bomenstichting, Lisanne donates 15% for each print sold to this foundation.
The wryneck on the chestnut tree was sold - a real neighbour tree that Burkhardt planted 30 years ago in front of the Kaasmarktschool Leiden.
Despite the rain, it was a varied weekend with many visitors, during which Lisanne also printed two editions of her stoepplantjes/asphaltgroen:
Uurbloemetje and Erwtje. Now available for 45 EUR each.
May 2023, Chaos in Hemel, Rampen op Aarde – etchings & mezzotint
expo#3 revolves around etchings and mezzotinto by four different artists. This time the subject is anything but easy to digest.
Jeroen Bisscheroux makes his own mezzotint prints as in the 17th century: for hours he worked the copper plates manually with a cleaver and then polished the surfaces that form the scene with a straightener. He found inspiration for this during his trip to Japan, where he spent six weeks as an artist in residence. There he visited the areas affected and devastated by the tsunami and the nuclear disaster of November 2011. Like ghostly reminders of bygone civilizations, the outlines of destroyed buildings emerge from the deep black of the prints.
Burkhardt Söll together with his son and grandson Paul and Manni du Bois-Reymond spent many hours 'en plein air' making their meticulous, detailed etchings. In the Gauertal, Montafon, these plates were made in direct confrontation with the vegetation. The scenes are intertwined with nightmarish impressions of a 16th century literary work by Giordano Bruno: The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast (Spaccio della bestia trionfante, 1584). Manuela du Bois-Reymond wrote texts for the series of 27 etchings.
The opening will take place in the studio of drukdrukpaint, Evertsenstraat 115, Leiden. Friday, April 28 from 4 p.m. we (Jeroen Bisscheroux, Paul du Bois-Reymond and Drukdrukpaint collective Burkhardt Söll, Lisanne Wepler, Manuela du Bois-Reymond, Gregor J.M. Weber) and wine will be waiting on the sun terrace in front of the studio.
1-30 November 2022, Sint Clemenskerk Nes, Ameland
Lisanne's second solo exhibition this year takes place during Kunstmaand Ameland. What a fantastic setting in a neo-Gothic church built by Pierre Cuypers (1827-1921, also architect of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, among others). Amazing coincidence: a 17th-century copy of a Crucifixion by Hendrick ter Brugghen used to hang here. During a fire at the church in 2013, the original copy of the painting, also burned. The church has now hung up a copy of the copy by artist Wim Kieviet.
The exhibited prints of trees (of the serie Our good neighbours – Onze goede buren) and magpie skulls (from the series Pica Pica) blend in perfectly with the quiet, light-flooded Catholic church. And with the help of Gregor, the best helper with hanging the pictures, it couldn´t went wrong.
24-25 September 2022, Kunstroute Leiden
We took part again - this time with Burkhardt's self-portraits, trees by Lisanne and Old Masters by Gregor! Among other things, a Jan Lievens, which the Lakenhal Leiden is allowed to receive on loan.
Lisanne has also printed a special edition of the Olifantbeuk (elephant beech) in all colors of the rainbow - available for 77 EUR.

2-4 September 2022, expo#2: trees & ants by Wepler & Söll
The second exhibition is coming! From friday 2 to sunday 4 september we are showing monumental trees by Lisanne and tiny ants (that could be also monumental!) by Florian Söll.
An enormous pile of large forest ants in front of the Swedish holiday home confronted Florian Söll (1950) directly with the tingling and yet so structured world of these insects. Martial and sociable, monstrous and yet so familiar; the human eye needs time to approach this world. Florian Söll has expressed his fascination in exciting etchings, linocuts, drawings and paintings.
The prints by Lisanne Wepler (1980) are also made from direct observation. She portrays trees from her surroundings, such as the old, monumental beech at the Groenesteeg Cemetery in Leiden. Under the series name Our good neighbors - tree portraits, Lisanne shares her admiration for the trees in our urban living environment. Her etchings show the trees with all their signs of wind and weather as living sculptures.
The techniques used reveal different aspects: sometimes gnarled, bizarre shapes with varnish mou and drypoint, sometimes the world landscape of a tree bark with pure line etching.
drukdrukpaint donates 10% of all sales during the exhibition to the Bomenbond Rijnland.
17-19 June 2022, expo#1: etchings by Wagner (Berlin) & Hazelaar (Delft)
In the weekend from 17-19 june we are organising our second exhibition in Evertsenstraat 115, Leiden! It will be the first one organised completely by ourself, to be continued....(expo#2, 3, ...)
We cordially invite you to the kunstborrel on Saturday 18 June from 4 pm! Marten will be there too.
The exhibition etchings of Wagner (Berlin) & Hazelaar (Delft) shows prints by Günther Wagner (1945) and Marten Hazelaar (1964), who deal with the theme of “forest” in different ways.
The Berlin artist Wagner depicts the edge of the forest, which he sees from his dacha in Brandenburg, 50 km from Berlin. As a recurring motif, his atmospheric, sketchy etchings evoke the impression of diverse weather and mood situations. He achieves the deep blackness of the prints by etching the zinc plate for hours in mild nitric acid.
The Delft artist Hazelaar zooms in on the undergrowth of the forest and meticulously dissects the architecture of the undergrowth. He often performs two printing processes with different colours, creating new colors when they are printed on top of each other. As with Wagner's records, chance guides her way of working.
April 2022, Galerie Zône, Leiden
First solo-exhibition by Lisanne with the Pica Pica-Box, many trees (Onze goede buren) and birds.
Disciplines: lijnetsen, aquatint, vernis-mou, droge naald, tekenen
Sinds 2018 leer ik het etsen. De Leidse kunstenaar Burkhardt Söll was hiervoor de initiator met een project over de tuin: Hij vroeg 12 van zijn kennissen en vrienden om etsen te maken voor Le Jardin garde le sourire – De tuin glimlacht nog steeds. Sindsdien ben ik de etskunst niet meer kwijtgeraakt en ook als kunsthistorica geïnteresseerd in maakprocessen en ontwikkelingen binnen de prentkunst.
Mijn artistieke motivatie gaat altijd uit van de natuurstudie. Bomen en vogels staan centraal. Voor mij is het belangrijk de zinnen te scherpen voor de groene wereld om ons heen – van stoepplantjes tot statige oude bomen, van onderkruipsels tot alles wat op wieken leeft. Allemaal leven om ons heen, essentieel voor ons bestaan. Dit zou ik door mijn werk willen vertellen.
September 2021, Kunstroute Leiden
Our first exhibition in the new Atelier (Evertsenstraat 115, Leiden), which we have been renting since April 2021! In the two days on 25/26 of September around 50 guests came to visit.
Besides looking at the etchings, drawings and paintings, the guests watched how an aquatint etching (Sleeping flying fox - edition: 7) was printed and then enjoyed the golden autumn on the sun terrace with a glass of wine served by caterer Boze Wolf (R.I.P. dear Wolf, 2022).
With multiple prints sold and lots of inspiring conversations, it was a successful Kunstroute and we are looking forward to next year!
