Brief C.V. including Selected Solo Exhibitions

 

Waalko Jans Dingemans Jnr was born in Gorinchem NL in 1912, son of Waalko Jans Dingemans Sen. (1873-1925) and Henriette Gensiina Dingemans-Numans (1877-1955), both artists.

 

1929-1934 studied in Amsterdam at the Rijksmuseum School of Art and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten; further studies in 1937 in Paris.

 

1936 Haarlem – first show in The Netherlands

 

After WWII, Waalko Jans Dingemans Jnr decided to travel through Southern Africa in his Fiat 500 he brought by ship from Holland, landing in Durban in December, 1947,

going around Southern Africa on an extended painting expedition until July, 1950.

 

Thus in 1948 he held his first solo shows in Durban, in Pretoria and at the Constantia Gallery, Johannesburg (28th June) and in 1949 he visited Rhodesia / Zimbabwe,

holding on his return a solo show at the Gainsborough Galleries, Johannesburg (25th October, 1949); in 1950, on a brief visit to Rhodesia, he was commissioned to paint official portraits.

 

He returned to The Netherlands in August, 1950 and only came back to South Africa in December, 1952 after his marriage in July that year to Elizabeth Florence Hipwell in Navan, Ireland.
