P.A. van Wigcheren, art critic of the newspaper Nieuwe Noordhollandse Courant, wrote the following about the artist Bob Immink:
"A passionate artist, who, in his work -paintings, making watercolours, screen prints or collages-, tries to reduce the landscape to its essence. I’ve called Immink the master of omission, meaning that he eliminates all kinds of details in his work and only shows the essentials in powerful planes, without having the recognition of the landscapes that he captured, disappear.
All works exude the artist’s powerful enthusiasm. In terms of colour, he’s often very concise, and again reduces them to the most necessary, but is also very explosive at times, without ever being intrusive and loud. One could also describe Immink’s work as being sensitive and driven, made with a high degree of craftsmanship.

"By seeing Bob Immink’s work, I was overwhelmed by the stunning simplicity of the compositions, a simplicity that in my experience makes for a beautiful, stylised representation of reality".
