Ad Van Riel

Born in 1959. Ad van Riel is a Dutch painter.

"My work, perhaps, could not be defined as painting. More like 2D-sculpture. In the strokes, the smears and brushing paterns of the paint all kind of figures and images reveil themselves. I let them stay or wipe them out. For me painting images is a dead end in art history, it is the paint itself that reveals the images".

My series/collections:

IMAGES OF ORDINATION AND SURVEY - A series of paintings about the ordination of the world and the human mind (2003-2007).

PARADIZES OF PAINT - A series I started in 2005 in which the paint itself reveils the images. Still working on this development.

PANORAMAS - A series of small paintings (30x40cm) which, together, make a large panorama on my work. Started in 2007 I am still working on this project.

DRAWINGS - A new development in my work. The coincidence of the painted image is no longer here. But the form and contenance remains. Still working on more drawings.
