Harry Rump (1946) is autodidact and fine painter. In his youth already he drew and painted many portraits. In the seventies he picked up painting again, but at this point his style became surrealistic and later more magical realistic. In spite of many interruptions due to his busy life as the co-founder of the first school for hypnotherapy in The Netherlands and – in 1990 – the establishment of the Jungian Institute in Nijmegen, together with his wife Madeleine Witteveen, he kept his passion for the art of painting. He worked and still works as a painter for many times a year in Bali.In 1999 he founded the gallery & studio 'The Red House' in the artists village Ubud on Bali, together with his wife and an artist from Bali. In 2004 he participated in a exposition in the capital Denpasar. A Balinese paper wrote: 'He is an expatriate painter who offers something new in the land of Bali, continuing the place of former Dutch painters like Rudolf Bonnet and Hoffker.'
In October 2006 the official opening took place of 'The House of Arts Grave', the gallery & studio where his work is exhibited.
