About this artwork
'Entanglement' shows entangled bodies (logically...). The delicate yet powerful pencil lines, charcoal marks and tempera shades reform the figures and blur the distinction between the bodies.
The blurred contours and overlapping limbs symbolize the way closeness can make one lose track of whose body is whose—where an arm, a leg, or a shoulder belongs no longer matters. Though I always play with shifting human shapes and body parts, in this dynamic… work the representation is more abstracted.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Dick van Dijk is an Amsterdam-based artist who draws and paints. His work is inspired by the male figure and balances between control and intuition. Dick compares his process to collage, composing, modifying, deconstructing and reconstructing human shapes in layers of paint and colour. Painterly discoveries during the working process create new elements and dynamics. In doing so, he seeks a duality between recognisable forms and less elaborate parts to create a lively image. In some works, (parts of) figures are hidden, while in other works bodies appear, visual clues to what is or is not there.
The results are bodily forms that tell layered stories of freedom and intimacy, close to the skin and viewed through the lens of memory and expectation.
