Hans Vandekerckhove. My Head is my Home
This book collects the work of the artist made between 1998 and 2006, and does so in a quite unforgettable way.Longing for paradise. Hans Vandekerckhove made his debut in the beginning of the eighties, after being graduated as an art historian. His work is deeply reflective, and shows interest in Flemish and Italian medieval and early renaissance painting. Other references? Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Japanese drawing, film makers Derek Jarman and Andrei Tarkovsky.This book shows you why Vandekerckhove is unique in contemporary painting. His romantic landscapes, often portraying loners and pilgrims of some kind, make the everyday longing for paradise visible, even though they seem to be frozen in their desire and melancholy. Behind the deceiving background of simplicity, the artist will take you to the unreachable and the mysterious.
