What is Art Leather Dibond?
Art Leather Dibond is an exclusive printing technique where artwork is printed on real leather, which is then mounted on a rigid Dibond panel. The leather remains visible as the base material: its texture, grain, and soft touch are definitive for the final result. A special printing technique allows the leather surface to remain visible through the image, creating a depth and warmth that canvas or paper cannot match. The result is not a painting, not a photograph, and not a print in the traditional sense; it is something different. Something you need to see and touch.
Moreover, the use of Dibond as a backing gives the work a sleek, solid base: no shrinking canvas, no warping, and perfectly flat when hung on the wall. Art Leather Dibond works are robust, timeless, and exceptionally suitable for both living spaces and office environments.
Hans Jochem Bakker and the Art Leather Dibond collection
The complete Art Leather Dibond collection at Modernekunst.nl consists of works by Dutch artist Hans Jochem Bakker. Bakker is one of the few artists in the Netherlands who masters and consistently applies this exclusive technique. His work is figurative, elegant, and with a clear pop art influence: women as icons, portraits with allure, images that are both intimate and grand.
The collection includes iconic female portraits, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Maria Callas, Marilyn Monroe, alongside contemporary titles such as Power Woman, Unstoppable, Passionate, and Dream Girl. Each work makes a statement without shouting. Sizes range from 80 to 150 cm and are predominantly vertical, which gives the portraits extra allure. All works are available as limited editions.
Prices range between €795 and €1,125. For this quality, this material, and this artist, that is an exceptional price-quality ratio.
Why choose Art Leather Dibond?
Art Leather Dibond appeals to a different audience than canvas or paper. It is the choice for those who take their interior seriously, who don't just want a painting, but an object. The leather structure adds warmth and tactility to a space, and the sleek Dibond mounting fits equally well in a modern apartment as in a classically furnished office. Each work is a limited edition, supplied with documentation, and is professionally packaged from our gallery in Leiden.
