Henk Visch was born in Eindhoven in 1950. In the period 1968-1972 he attended the Royal Academy of Art and Design in Den Bosch.
Until 1980, Visch only worked on paper. He drew his drawings in a few clean lines. They often show fairytale figures, depicted in a completely unique formal language, who are surrounded by or busy with mysterious objects. Visch suggests an action that is self-evident for his characters, but also lets them sink into their own world, which is not very accessible to the viewer.
Visch is always focused on stimulating the viewer's ability to associate. According to Visch, the visibility of the artwork is its strongest feature. Therein lies the power of the work, which in fact finds its completion in the eye of the viewer.
In 1979, during a stay in New York, Visch also decided to start sculpting. The sculptures he has made since then – both small figures and monumental constructions of wood or polyester – with their voluptuous, round shapes, unmistakably bear the signature that also speaks from his drawings.
Visch represented the Netherlands at the Venice Biennale in 1988, took part in Documenta IX in Kassel in 1992 and has received several important art prizes. He lives and works in Eindhoven and Stuttgart.
