Profile
Photography Isabella Rosendaal.
Hello, my name is Harmen Liemburg. I’m an artist/graphic designer/screenprinter, working for both clients and on self initiated projects.
Theofanie mural painting
Theofanie Up and Out, a mural by artist Gijs Frieling & team, Schunck Heerlen, Augustus 18 2020 – July 6, 2021.
Making a mural in one week’s time at the ‘Glaspaleis‘ (Glass Palace) in Heerlen, NL. A true troupe artistique consisting of members of Gijs Frieling’s son Daan’s band the Koalaz, two other children Eva and Job, plus a couple of others including me. Most of us never touched a brush before in our lives, so paiting on walls was a bit exiting, to put it mildly…
Home Field Framed
Home Field (2012) very nicely framed in white by Gerco de Ruijter, who I recently traded work with.
HNI webcover
Every week, Het Nieuwe Instituut invites a designer to create a cover for the website in response to the question: What’s occupying you now?
Light In Black Out
Workshop at Gezeever Open Zeefdruk Werkplaats in Antwerp, March 4 & 5, 2020. Theme: working with greytones made from layering black, white and silver inks on white, black and grey paper.

UPFRONT – The billboard at the Gerrit Rietveld academie
The billboard at the Gerrit Rietveld academie is a stage for printed art, design and (school)announcements. Throughout the years it also functioned as a showcase of what is possible at the school’s screenprinting shop, seducing students to come down and try this versatile technique for themselves.
The book was conceived, designed and produced as a farewell present for Kees Maas, who supervised the screenprinting workshop with heart and soul from 1996 to 2019.
