Nostalgic Service Stations by Cees Smit

Since 2019, I’m painting nostalgic service stations. The background of this was the writing of a book on blood transfusion, hemophilia and the trade in human blood. In the United States you can sell your bloodplasma for money. That money is used for the daily shopping or gas for the car. To symbolize this trade, these paintings were made as illustration for this book.

Nostalgische benzinestations van Cees Smit

Vanaf 2019 schilder ik nostalgische benzinestations. De aanleiding hiervoor was het schrijven van een boek over bloedtransfusie, hemofilie en de handel in menselijk bloed. In Amerika kun je je bloed verkopen voor geld. Dat geld wordt gebruikt voor de dagelijkse boodschappen of voor benzine in de auto. Om deze handel te symboliseren, zijn de schilderijen ontstaan voor dit boek.
