About this artwork
In a swirl of lines and muted colour, a dynamic yet tender embrace is depicted, ambiguous but with visual hints at what may or may not be. The artwork ‘To Love Somebody’ uses a soft palette with subtle contrasts to portray a sense of longing and nostalgia. The fragmented forms create a shapeshifting between the self and its surroundings. The human body and physical connections between people are at once concrete and elusive; from this base, I explore… reality and imagination, desire and memory.
This piece is sold unframed. It will be carefully packaged in mostly repurposed shipping materials.
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.
