Ode aan de Linge - 9053 or Hidden.


Ode aan de Linge “Sensory Landscape”, Heemtuin Geldermalsen, Netherlands

9053 or Hidden. 

The title of the work refers to its location. A simple, minimalist land art installation set away from the main paths of the garden. The work takes a philosophical approach to this year's Ode aan de Linge theme, "Sensory Landscape." Much in nature and our everyday lives often remains hidden or unnoticed. The chosen location reminds us to use our ability to search and discover. The work itself represents the philosophical ideas of simplicity, purity, and sobriety. But it also tells us something about how fragile everything around us is and how closely connected it is. Stones, particularly in Zen philosophy, are more than just a decorative element. They carry deep symbolic meanings, ranging from the search for balance and inner harmony to a reminder of the transience of life. The stones in this installation are a symbol of mindfulness and the connection with our surroundings and ourselves. Autobiographical elements also appear in this installation. They reference my past as a sculptor working with stone. There's also a connection to my psychological problems and the search for orderly elements. The choice of location metaphorically reflects my increasingly intense longing to turn away from this world and master life's path with serenity and courage.

ManiVesta


 I'm participating in the third edition of ManiVesta, themed "Gold", in the Dutch city of Gorinchem. The two-day art event has become a biennial highlight in the city, where art, cultural heritage, and society merge in a unique way. Exhibitions and performances will take place at 35 venues throughout the city, including museums, churches, galleries, shops, cafes, private homes, and public spaces. I'm exhibiting with Dutch artist Anna Marie Van Thiel de Vries at the Lutherse Schuilkerk (Location 24). I'm presenting a selection of small-format works on paper and canvas. This is somewhat unusual, as I haven't shown this type of work for many years, but have hidden it away.


ManiVesta 2025 Locatie 24:

21/06 – 22/06/2025, 11-17 h

De Lutherse Schuilkerk,

Langendijk 72, Gorinchem, Netherlands


As already mentioned, in this exhibition I present a selection of my works on paper and canvas, as well as my graphic works. Since my work is interdisciplinary and multimedia, the paintings and prints reflect only a small part of my entire oeuvre. The works on paper are a type of collage and mixed media using acrylic paint, chalk pencils, pigments, sometimes sand, and various papers from Nepal and Japan on sturdy Fabriano or Canson paper. Since this year's theme is gold, all works incorporate shades of gold.
