WorksStatementCVVIDEOWorksStatement The themes of Heydenreich’s artwork explore human navigation and orientation, and the longing for the unknown and intangible. We humans travel around the world and it is part of our nature to be drawn to the most remote places. If this is not possible, we virtually experience these places. The geological surface of our…

WorksStatementCVWorksStatement Dutch sculptor Riki Mijling (1954, Nijmegen, the Netherlands) works in a rich tradition of non-objective, post-minimalist sculpture. The twentieth century art genealogy shows a forceful line of abstract-geometry, with pioneers such as Kasimir Malevitjs, Vladimir Tatlin, Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. Developments in art since the mid-1960s show how artists expanded on this…
WorksStatementCVWorksStatement Yves Beaumont is probably the most poetic and muted Belgian landscape artist. He understands, studies and admires the great masters but over time has developed his own ‘pictura logica’: a logic that senses the character of the canvas surface and the texture of the paint, that touches and works the paint itself and offers…

Materials that allow themselves to be moulded into new shapes over and over again. With her work, Helmie poses profound questions about our identity and the nature of human existence.

WorksStatementCVWorksStatement The artist’s mission Christoph Lichtin There’s something uncanny about Stefan à Wengen’s paintings. Analysing them, one is immediately confronted with depth-psychological questions. What is coming towards us out of its place of concealment? They are paintings that radiate a great intensity and aura. Georges Didi-Huberman sees auratic paintings of all kinds as uncanny,…

WorksStatementCVWorksStatement Wim Claessen Wie op het eerste gezicht kijkt naar het werk van Wim Claessen, ziet landschappen die een eigen sfeer kennen en die bijna ongekend zijn door het bijzondere licht- en kleurgebruik. De werken kunnen daardoor bevreemdend aandoen, maar ook zit die bevreemding in de verstildheid van het geheel. Het heeft iets mystieks dat…

The combinations and repetitions of form he chooses, are both as simple as effective. The best way to describe the beauty that reveals itself is timid, introvert and subtle layered. And…

WorksStatementCVWorksStatement Het suizen van een zachte stilte De schilderijen van Margot de Jager zijn fantasierijke, imaginaire landschappen: plekken die alleen bestaan in de verbeelding van de kunstenaar. Zij refereert daarin bewust niet aan bestaande plekken, omdat het niet gaat om een afbeelding van het landschap, maar om een evocatie daarvan. Soms betreft het een landschappelijke scene; in…
