Rinus Van de Velde - Gemeentemuseum Den Haag

The work of Rinus van Velde (b. Leuven, 1983) revolves around the tension between fiction and reality. His striking charcoal drawings are based either on found photographic images or on photographs of scenes he stages himself.
For his show at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Van de Velde is creating a completely new site-specific installation, composed of drawings on paper set against a painterly background. Using a loose but virtuoso drawing style, he tells the story of Isaac Weiss, a fictive alter ego who runs an artists’ colony. Members of the artists’ colony are big-name artists of the twentieth century, including Mark Rothko, Jean Brusselmans and Pablo Picasso.
In addition to works on paper hung on a painterly background, the artist will present autonomous, free-standing sculptures - the first time he has ever done so.
