The Artfarmer likes selling homegrown produce person to person. \u201cI seek the live experience of watching the viewer react to my work\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>His work can be figurative, composed of weathered objects, collected during travels from within his hometown or overseas: \u201cthe presence of art is everywhere, all one has to do is see it\u201d.<br \/>\nHe manages to revive the lost souls of discarded objects. The combination of rust and flakey paint generates an authentic vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Also, William loves applied art; inventing new ways to redesign his work for multiple uses, instead of the other way around. This way, his art becomes more user-friendly to a wider audience.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat I like about him most, is his matter-of-factness aproach. He has a crisp view on form and function\u201d, according to a client. In time, we shall more often see work from Kunsteboer in public areas. Thus William hopes to keep making contact with the public.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><span class=\"kopje\">Education<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>1998 Toelating Academie Minerva, Groningen<br \/>\n1993 Association ouvri\u00e8res des compagnons du devoir, France<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"kopje\"><strong>Activities<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span>2012 Ddaydesign Maastricht<br \/>\n2012 Kunst aan de Vaart Assen<br \/>\n2012 opdracht Noorderzon Groningen<br \/>\n2012 FestivalderAA Schipborg<br \/>\n2012 Feelgood market Eindhoven<br \/>\n2012 Tuinkunst 10 daagse Tuingoed Foltz Meeden<br \/>\n2012 Tuinkunstfestival kwekerij Abbing Zeist<br \/>\n2012 expo Natuurtuin Haren<br \/>\n2012 groepexpo Buiten gewoon renaissance, galerie Brunstingehof<br \/>\n2012 Recycled kunstmarkt Groningen<br \/>\n2011 La braderie de l&#8217; art Roubaix<br \/>\n2011 Open design dag Groningen<br \/>\n2011 Culturele Zondag in het Paleis, Groningen<br \/>\n2011\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kunsteboer.nl\/producten\/allerlei\/allerlei.html#leroy\">Le Roy project<\/a>, Lewenborg, Groningen<br \/>\n2011 Buiten Bezig, Roden<br \/>\n2011 open atelierroute Rondje Meer, Groningen<br \/>\n2011\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vosinterieur.nl\/nieuws\/396\/toegepaste-kunst-van-william-van-de-velde.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vos Maupertuus<\/a>, Groningen<br \/>\n2011 Wonen &amp; Co, Martiniplaza, Groningen<br \/>\n2010 Labraderiedelart, Roubaix<br \/>\n2010 Buiten Bezig, Roden<br \/>\n2010 Openatelierroute &#8216;Rondje Meer&#8217;, Groningen<br \/>\n2010 Openatelierroute &#8216;Overal&#8217;Groningen<br \/>\n2010 Westenesch Fair, Westenesch<br \/>\n2010 Rebours festival &#8216;Het recycle spektakel&#8217;, Groningen<br \/>\n2010 Sauna de Bron, Tynaarlo<br \/>\n2010 Hop (Het Oude Postkantoor), Delfzijl<br \/>\n2010 Harmoniegebouw, Groningen<br \/>\n2010 Hoogeland museum (met de Ploeg), Warffum<br \/>\n2010 beeldentuin Van Starkenborgh, Groningen<br \/>\n2009 Expo CBK Concordia, Ensched\u00e9<br \/>\n2009 Kunst aan de Vaart, Assen<br \/>\n2009 Expo Galerie Troost, Ten Boer<br \/>\n2009 Diverse kunstmarkten<br \/>\n2009 Expo Festival des Troubadours et Saltimbanques, Souvigny Frankrijk<br \/>\n2009 Atelierroute Rondje Meer, Groningen<br \/>\n2009 Expo Kunstpoor Stedum<br \/>\n2009 diverse autonome opdrachten<br \/>\n2009\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kunsteboer.nl\/over-william\/svb.html\">solo expo SVB (Sociale Verzekerings Bank)<\/a><br \/>\n2008\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kunsteboer.nl\/over-william\/beeldentuin.html\">expo beeldentuin Noorderhoogebrug<\/a><br \/>\n2008 diverse autonome opdrachten<br \/>\n2008 diverse kunstmarkten<br \/>\n2007 Atelierroute Groningen<br \/>\n2007 expo openbare bibliotheek Groningen<br \/>\n2007\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kunsteboer.nl\/over-william\/slochteren.html\">expo kunsthal Slochteren<\/a><br \/>\n2006 expo Pictura<br \/>\n2006 jaar expo bij de Fraeylemaborg Slochteren<br \/>\n2005 penningmeester Kunstkring De Ploeg<br \/>\n2005 expo De Paardestal, Peize<br \/>\n2005 expo Villapark Ameland<br \/>\n2005 expo Paasloo\u00ebrhof, Paasloo<br \/>\n2005 open Atelierroute Groningen<br \/>\n2005 diverse autonome opdrachten<br \/>\n2004 diverse autonome opdrachten<br \/>\n2004 expo metaalatelier Herbert Koekkoek<br \/>\n2004 Duo expo, Ploeghuis<br \/>\n2003 autonome opdracht (brievenbus)<br \/>\n2003 85 jaar Ploeg, Pictura.<br \/>\n2003 expo Kunst in de kop<br \/>\n2003 stoelen project, Galerie KaAas<br \/>\n2003 expo Galerie KaAas, Groningen<br \/>\n2003 Atelier Route Groningen<br \/>\n2003 expo Ploeg Museum, Bellingwolde<br \/>\n2003 expo Leer, Duitsland<br \/>\n2002 diverse autonome opdrachten<br \/>\n2002 co-productie standbeeld De Branding<br \/>\n2002 expo Groninger Scheepvaartmuseum<br \/>\n2001 Atelierroute Groningen<br \/>\n2001 Beurs Zuidlaren<br \/>\n2001 expo Hotel De Bonte Koe Groningen<br \/>\n2001 expo Om \u2018t Hoekje van de Heere Groningen<br \/>\n2001 expo De Ploeg Groningen<br \/>\n2001 expo De Lawei Drachten<br \/>\n2000 expo ING Bank Groningen<br \/>\n2000 expo Kunsthal 2000 Groningen<br \/>\n2000 expo De Vrije Opslag Burum<br \/>\n2000<a href=\"http:\/\/kunsteboer.nl\/over-william\/azg.html\">\u00a0expo Academisch Ziekenhuis Groningen<\/a><br \/>\n1999 lid van De Ploeg<br \/>\n1999 expo Fase 4 Groningen<br \/>\n1999 tuin expo Alternatieve Atelier Route<br \/>\n1998 expo De Permanente Groningen<br \/>\n1996-2002 metaalbewerker Jelmer Valk aggregaten Groningen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About William The word \u2018boer\u2019 means farmer.
