Rik van Iersel
Dutch artist, self-taught, born in Maastricht 18-08-1961, lives and works in Eindhoven.
He has a series of exhibitions behind him, each time with idiosyncratic catalogues. Van Iersel is very curious about materials, media and life itself. As an eighteen-year-old he designs posters for pop concerts of the Effenaar. He draws comics, plays drums in Der Junge Hund and makes his first large colourful expressionist paintings that immediately lead to a solo exhibition at Galerie Willy Schoots. In the years that follow, Rik van Iersel exhibits in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, New York and San Francisco.
The work of Rik van Iersel can be called expressionistic, namely the expression of an image of a tangible reality or situation formed in the inner self of the artist. The personal aspect that underlies this makes it difficult to group artists under one heading. Rik van Iersel develops his own signature, but his style remains subject to change. He works quickly and spontaneously. Painting takes place as a process in which forms are continuously created that evoke ideas and memories. Van Iersel is a traditional painter in subject and technique. He is often guided by themes that have been in art for centuries.
