artist
Rik van Iersel wurde 1961 in Maastrich, Niederlande geboren.

Van Iersel ist als Künstler Autodidakt. Im Alter von achtzehn Jahren entwirft er Plakate für Konzerte im Jugendclub Effenaar-Eindhoven. Er arbeitet als freiberuflicher Grafik-Designer und entwickelt seine eigene Handschrift. Er zeichnet Comics, spielt Schlagzeug in Band 'Der Junge Hund' und betreitbt weiter Musikprojekte. Seit 1982 stellt er seine Bilder regelmäßig in den Niederlanden und im Ausland aus.

Sein Stil ist von der COBRA-Gruppe in den Niederlanden und den deutschen “Jungen Wilden” gebrägt. Er arbeitet schnell und spontan. Seine Bilder stellen die menschliche Figur in den Mittelpunkt - oft gepaart mit dem Mittel der Groteske oder der Art Brut.

Die Untiefen der Psyche und das Überleben in der von Bildern allumfassend überformten Gegenwart sind wiederkehrende Themen.

Rik van Iersel lebt und arbeitet in Eindhoven.

Features and remarks


Here you have the opportunity to acquire an original by Rik van Iersel.

The painting, created in 1997, testifies to the irrepressible power of human suffering - not only since Edvard Munch have we seen in the scream the expression of a deep emotional feeling that breaks out suddenly, physically and loudly.

A black head with a wide-open, snarling mouth screams and screams. The word "SCREAM" is written on the figure's cheek and the eye stares fixedly forwards. Green swirls of colour mingle with wiped black to form shadowy mists.

In the painting, the moment of the scream is quietly preserved, but loses none of its undoubted expressiveness. Van Iersel has been dealing with personal loss and death in his paintings since the early 1990s. He is strong in his brute depiction of emotional states - but also distances and processes them at the same time.

But perhaps we are also dealing with a postmodern "picture puzzle": With sufficient punk attitude, the scream then becomes a youthful gesture of protest - a call to break with the establishment and continued resistance.

„In his painting, he depicts the psychoses of modern civilisation, the experience of the world as a psychological threat, as the fear of drowning in the masses, of losing one's own face in the disguise of convention and lies. It is the autistic world of the isolated, the alienated - heightened into the pathological and transposed into the creative.“

Klaus Hammer, 1996
