Hans van Pelt: cartoons with a sharp eye

Hans van Pelt’s cartoons combine humor, observation, and social engagement. With felt-tip pen, paper, and a keen eye for detail, he captures everyday situations that are simultaneously recognizable, surprising, and sometimes confronting. His work moves between mild irony and sharp social criticism, where a single drawing often says more than a thousand words.

In this exhibition, visitors get a glimpse into the multifaceted work of a draftsman who has been depicting current events and daily life in his own characteristic way for years.

Hans van Pelt regularly works on commission for weekly newspapers and magazines. In addition, he publishes weekly cartoons in the Zandvoortse Courant , in which he responds to current events and recognizable situations from everyday life with humor and a critical eye. The exhibition is highly recommended for lovers of satire, illustration, and contemporary observations.
