Ton Schulten

Ton Schulten (born 25 April 1938, Ootmarsum, Overijssel) is a Dutch painter who mainly paints landscapes using bright blocks of colour.

He graduated from the Enschede Academy for Art and Industry in 1962 as a graphic designer and worked in advertising.

In 1991 he was in a serious car accident on Tenerife, in which a friend was killed and he and his wife Ank Lammerink were put into a coma.

After the accident his style changed and he began painting landscapes of the Twente area using initially primary colours and later also pastel shades.

In 2004 the German art critic Hartmut Rau named his style of painting Concensism.
