quotes from the book
“Many people are amazed to hear that 366 feelings are depicted in this book. You can see them wondering if there are that many feelings. The concept is food for thought, it provokes: which emotions and feelings could those be?”
Tineke Abma
“And it’s precisely this tangible illusiveness, in which differing worlds and feelings merge, that is so characteristic of Coen’s works. They give substance to the otherwise naked content of our existence, formed by internal motivations and fuelled by the world around him. Revelations of the subconscious.”
Pim Hoff
“How do I form and colour in all those different emotions? Can my paintings help initiate the discussion about mental health? Experiencing art has a positive effect on your health and well-being. That appeals to me. I want to look into that further.”
Coen van ham
press
“Expressieve doeken, op het randje van abstract, waarin naakten te herkennen zijn. Ze zijn opgebouwd uit kleurrijke verfstreken die lijken te bewegen. Die beweging en kleur zitten ook in de 366 kleine schilderijen die hij maakte voor zijn project poetry of feelings.”
Anneke Wolfswinkel, Eindhovens Dagblad
“Poetry of feelings is more than an art project; it is an invitation to explore your own emotional landscape and to start a conversation together about mental health. The result: a colourful and versatile series that makes the invisible visible.”
Lidy Lathouwers, Eindless magazine
“Via zijn expressionistische naaktstudies, waarbij het ook vaak gaat om emotie, richt hij nu de focus op de emotie zelf. Van Ham neemt niet alleen zijn eigen gevoelens als uitgangspunt, maar staat ook open voor gevoelens van anderen.”
Irma van Bommel, Brabant Cultureel
