About this artwork
Love Resurrection (mixed media on paper) is an exploration of closeness, intimacy, and the fragile space between two human bodies. I am interested in this uncertain territory where tenderness and vulnerability meet, where the body becomes both recognizable and unfamiliar, and where closeness can create a quiet space in which different sensations, memories, and identities seem to exist simultaneously.
The work presents overlapping, partially obscured… forms whose limbs, hands, torsos, and heads appear to fold into one another. Soft, pale flesh tones are interrupted by areas of darker, more textured pigment, creating a shifting interplay between presence and absence. Rather than describing the figures with clearly defined contours, I allow their bodies to dissolve into the surrounding surface. The result is an image in which it becomes difficult to establish where one body ends and another begins, suggesting that intimacy can transform the perception of the individual self.

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.
