Between Red and a Transparent Plane
18 January - 23 March 2014

Curator: Lorenzo Benedetti

The Dutch artist Kees Goudzwaard presents recent paintings titled Between Red and a Transparent Plane in De Kabinetten van De Vleeshal.


The title refers to a new work that uses the nuances of a key color palette: based on red, white and black.

The work of Goudzwaard is an ongoing research to create a spatial dimension between different surfaces. With the technique of mimesis Goudzwaard realizes compositions that find a balance between abstraction and figuration. The paintings always a transparent structure seen in layers composed of seemingly material elements.

The compositions often have a landscape structure, as in Collected and Scherenschnitt from 2012. The work Parts of Fragments shows the phenomenon of a composition that seems to zoom in on a constellation of stars. The imaginary space of the artist goes beyond the composition itself, because he is looking for the world between the paint and the surface of the canvas.

Kees Goudzwaard, born in 1958, Utrecht (The Netherlands), lives and works in Antwerp (Belgium) and Reusel (The Netherlands).
