Joke studied in Studio Simi from September 1976 until September 1984 and learned all the classical basic techniques from Signorina Simi. In 1977-78 She received a grant from the Greenshield foundation.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E1984 moved back to the Netherlands \u003Cbr /\u003E1999 Moved to France\u003Cbr /\u003E 2007 Moved from Biches to Vissingy. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E Joke Frima has a very spacious and bright studio as well as her own exhibition space. It is situated in the former school in the hamlet Vissingy, in Bourgogne France. She organizes an annual exhibition usually in May. Her studio in the Netherlands is in Driebergen (near Utrecht). \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EFor the numerous exhibitions and art fairs Joke Frima travels regularly to the Netherlands. The combination of the very rural and quiet environment in which to work and the frequent busy visits to the Netherlands proves to be particularly fruitful.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EJoke Frima finds her subject matter in everyday beauty in nature. In her vegetal still lives she shows us nature not yet picked clean or manicured by man. She looks for common things like a meadow with butterbur, a cluster of strawberries or dandelions. The low viewpoint she chooses, Frima appears to be lying in the grass, makes you want to creep deep into her paintings to find your own way through the leaves. In an abstracted play of texture, rhythm, light and colour, Frima manages to evoke a sense of calm and harmony in a rather modest subject and also grab the viewers\u0027 full attention. \u003Cem\u003ESimulacrum\u003C/em\u003E is winner First Place Prize of the Landscape Category- International ARC Salon 2013-14.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMajor publications:\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E2014 \u003Cem\u003EJoke Frima paintings 2014-1989, L Univers des Simulacres\u003C/em\u003E publisher: Art Revisited- Joke Frima - ISBN 978-90-72736-88-8 \u003Cbr /\u003E2007 - \u003Cem\u003EJoke Frima Manifestations-Paintings\u003C/em\u003E - publisher: Art Revisited-Joke Frima ISBN 978-90-72736-53-6\u003Cbr /\u003E1996 -\u003Cem\u003E Joke Frima, drawings and paintings 1986-1996\u003C/em\u003E Publisher: Het Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMajor solo exhibitions\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2014 Galerie Mokum-Joke Frima 25 jaar in Mokum, Amsterdam, NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2014 -2009 exhibition every year in Mai , In Studio at Vissingy - FR\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2010 November - Galerie Mokum-Amsterdam - NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2007 Joke Frima - Galerie Mokum-Amsterdam, NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2004 Galerie Mokum \u0022Joke Frima exposeert\u0022 - Amsterdam NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2002 Smelik en Stokking Galleries, Den Haag, NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E2000 Galerie Mokum, Amsterdam, NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E1998 Art Options, Wijk bij Duurstede, NL\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E1997.
