Description
Hans VREDEGOOR (Deventer 1953), graphic artist.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arnhem, where he also lives and works.
The etchings of Hans Vredegoor have a strong, aesthetic appearance.
Bright areas of colour that merge into each other in an almost painterly manner form a dynamic, abstract composition with powerful, moving lines.
The colour and shape create a clear tension; a tension that, as he himself says, explores the boundary between 'what is and what is to come'.
He finds this specific moment by testing contradictions in both execution and content, without losing sight of the unity of the overall picture.
By confronting opposites with each other, a certain mobility is evoked, a vitality that is, however, kept in check.
Hans Vredegoor characterizes this dynamic calm as a 'balance that has just reached equilibrium and is about to tip over'.
This exciting balance between two poles, in which he often bases himself on concepts such as control and certainty versus chance and freedom, keeps recurring.
It works very concretely when an attempt at figuration can be discovered in the abstract representation.
Contrast also has a dynamic effect in the treatment of lines, colours and shapes: movement and rest, red and green or open versus closed.
