About this artwork
I mainly paint people, not realistic but recognisable. For me, the fun in painting is in the material that often does something I don't expect and I like to make use of that. Each painting is therefore a build-up of ever-new layers and residues of existing layers. Paint is allowed to spill out, skim, mix. Coincidence plays a big role, but I deploy it consciously. I like to constantly put something 'in between' the person depicted and the viewer,… to break the built-up image each time. I am still finding found greater freedom in this. (Incidentally, the people I 'portray' do not exist, I just 'sculpt' until a head does something to me).
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.
