Giny Vos

Giny Vos, 1959

quote

"Most of my works were created for public spaces. This means that, by and large, the real existing environment plays a significant role in the final result. My aim in this respect is to give rise to a ‘view’ that makes particular aspects or elements of this environment visible; aspects or elements which otherwise would go unnoticed.

herman de vries

herman de vries, 1931

de vries started painting in the late 1950s. He categorises these paintings as 'informal'. Using no figuration or color, the paintings are his first steps towards randomness as a principle of order. This principle aims to achieve absolute objectivity, and has had a central role throughout his artistic career. Later, his concern for the (disrupted) relation between humanity and nature takes a leading role in his work.
