KEES GOUDZWAARD

Kees Goudzwaard born in 1958 in Utrecht (NL), lives and works in Arnhem (NL). Kees Goudzwaard makes works which at first sight appear to be minimal colour studies constructed from rectangles of paper and masking tape. But seen close up, the works are revealed as painstakingly created trompe l’oeil paintings. Goudzwaard initially makes a model using paper sheets, transparent acetates and tape arranged over a coloured ground, before he makes a painted illusion of them to exact scale. People can see the reproduction and mimesis which deeply buried within 17th century Dutch painting tradition, the modernist abstraction and innovation, and the collages and appropriation that are commonly be shown in Postmodernist artworks, three distinct art expression techniques then be re-integrated and re-discussed on Kees’s work.

Kees Goudzwaard has had solo exhibitions at S.M.A.K. Ghent (BE), Museum of Modern Art, Arnhem (NL) and Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam (NL). His work was included in several group shows at Museum Kunst Palast, Kröller-Müller Museum, Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris and amongst others. Goudzwaard’s work can be found in the permanent collections of S.M.A.K. Gent (BE), Museum Kunst Palast Düsseldorf (DE), Collectie Nederlandsche Bank (NL) and the Rubell Family Collection Miami (US), amongst others.
