‘AER’ Exhibit by Vincent Verhoef at Workshop Gallery

AER is the first solo exhibition outside of Europe for Dutch artist Vincent Verhoef. Greek and Latin for air, the exhibit’s title alludes to classical artistic materials and the fact that air can both form materials and corrupt them irrevocably.

Captivated by the power of the physical object and its abyss of mysteries Vincent Verhoef works in the realm of sculpture, painting and installation. The materials he uses, such as wood, metal, marble, chemicals and oil paint, have in common that they are, for him, all possessed by a certain heaviness, they are somehow both tainted and blessed by history. In that sense the works function within this specifically defined art historical context.

Vincent Verhoef (1982) lives and works in Amsterdam. After graduating in History of Art at the University of Amsterdam he studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. In 2013 he was a resident artist at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht.
