The landscapes Ronald Versloot (1964, Apeldoorn, NL ) takes us to in his paintings are hushed, strange, atmospheric, with an anxiety the source of which is difficult to pin down. Versloot is intreagued by the way our inner thoughts are made up from images and things outside of ourselves, how we take them in and convert them into the settings for our fantasies. His landscapes are inner landscapes: inner versions of things exterior. His theme is that a painting technique need not be mysterious in order that its subject matter be.
Versloot studied at the Koninklijke Akademie voor Kunst en Vormgeving in Den Bosch and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. He had solo exhibitions at GAD Galleri, Oslo (2011), Galerie Andreas Brüning, Düsseldorf (2006) and several times at AKINCI, Amsterdam, Maurits van der Laar, The Hague.Versloot participated in group shows at the Freies Museum, Berlin (2011), Kunsthal 52, Den Helder (2009), Hofvijverexpositie, Den Haag (2002), Boijmans van Beuningen, ROtterdam (1996), Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1996), Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (1996).
