RINUS VAN DE VELDE A Life in a Day.
Antwerp, Tim Van Laere, 2023 Hardcover,158 pages, Illustrated., Quadrilingual: English, Dutch, French, Italian .FINE. ISBN 9789464004243.
Tim Van Laere Gallery presents A Life in A Day, Rinus Van de Velde's seventh solo exhibition at the gallery. In this exhibition, the artist not only presents new drawings in oil pastel, colored pencil, and charcoal but also premieres his third film, A Life in A Day, along with a selection of sculptures featured in the film.. Rinus Van de Velde's oeuvre reads like a multiverse, in which different storylines always run parallel to one another. He has already created several alter egos that allow him to appropriate different personas and explore worlds that do not (yet) belong to him. Throughout these different worlds, the constant anchor point is the artist himself. Through impersonations, constructed lies, and appropriations, he comes closer to uncovering the truth about his own identity and artistry. His latest film also mirrors this process. In his debut film, The Villagers, Van de Velde started from a predefined narrative, in which the artist himself played a small role as spectator. That narrative already evolved into a more abstract form in his second film, La Ruta Natural. For this film, the artist had a mask made in his likeness allowing one of his assistants to embody the artist?s role. This allowed Van de Velde to observe himself from a distance and portray and analyze his artistry. This same mask reappears in A Life in A Day. While La Ruta Natural?s storyline focused on the creation and destruction of his various alter egos, A Life in A Day delves into Van de Velde's artistry in a more intimate and pure way, inviting us to partake in the artist's inner process. The film opens with a very mundane scene where the artist wakes up, gets dressed, and then walks out the door with his briefcase to start his day. The motif of the briefcase plays an important role here as the depiction of a bundle of thoughts, ideas, and visualizations. It also plays an important role in the encounter between the artist and his gallerist Tim Van Laere, with the briefcase symbolising the dialogue between the two figures. After his daily activities, the artist then enters his imaginary universe, where he walks into a natural scenery. Here, in his solitude, the artist finds a moment of peace and takes his place like a pleinairist to create new work. This desire is visible in the oil pastel drawings in the first space of the exhibition, where the majority focuses on natural landscapes. Then he takes a shortcut to an underground, deeply hidden space, where we find the artist's inner vault. Within this archive, the artist meticulously organizes all his ideas, thoughts, images, and texts. This process of exploration, deepening, appropriating, and reinventing also resonates within the exhibition, where charcoal, oil pastel, colored pencil drawings, and sculptures are showcased. All of these works speak volumes about the artist: about his ambitions, doubts, concerns, his moments of happiness, but also of loneliness, frustration, and sadness. The predominance of the artist's personal voice in all his works makes it possible for him to appropriate any style, without losing his own identity in it. Works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Ensor, Matisse, Armen Eloyan, and Alfred Wallis are unmistakably redirected to a Rinus Van de Velde. The fact that the artist looks a lot to his predecessors and also immerses himself completely in their work is also portrayed in his latest film, in which he defies gravity while climbing through a hatch into a swimming pool that refers to David Hockney. In this scene, too, Van de Velde appropriates the pool by the simple act of washing out his brushes in the pool, resulting in a transformation of the water?s hue. Rinus Van de Velde (b. 1983 in Leuven, Belgium) lives and works in Antwerp. Work by the artist is in several international collections, including S.M.A.K. (Ghent), M HKA (Antwerp), Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels), CAC (Malaga), Kunstmuseum Luzern (Lucerne), FRAC des Pays De La Loire (Nantes), Museum Voorlinden (Wassenaar), Kunstmuseum (The Hague), AZ Artgestion Collection (Bilbao), Kunsthalle Sao Paolo (Sao Paolo), KWM Art Center (Shangai), KPN Art Collection (Netherlands), Stad Antwerpen (Antwerp), Erasmus University (Rotterdam), Belfius Art Collection (Brussels) and Colleccion Solo (Madrid).
HENRY VAN DE VELDE The Complete Paintings and Drawings.

Henry van de Velde (1863?1957) is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture: he is world-famous for his beautiful buildings, furniture, utensils and typographical creations. Van de Velde, however, is much less well-known as a painter and draughtsman. Nevertheless, he had a lot of talent, especially as a draughtsman: his drawings bear witness to great originality and sincerity. Ten years after his training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp from 1880 to 1883, Van de Velde exchanged painting for the applied arts and architecture, fields in which he would build a brilliant career. His enormous output in the architectural field ensures that there is little interest in his painting work ? that attention only comes much later. Most of Van de Velde's pencil drawings and pastels were made in Wechelderzande ? a small village in the Kempen ?, in Kalmthout and in Knokke-Heist. He also drew landscapes in Weimar and South Tyrol. Despite the large number of exhibitions devoted to Henry van de Velde, few paid sufficient attention to his paintings and drawings. It was only after his death in 1957 that interest in his creations as a painter emerged. This English-language catalogue of his works ? with a trilingual introduction by Xavier Tricot, author of the catalogues of James Ensor's paintings and of Fernand Khnopff's and Léon Spilliaert's prints ? outlines Henry van de Velde's fascinating career as a painter and gifted draughtsman on the basis of some 60 paintings and 230 drawings. Compiled by Ronny Van de Velde, with an introduction by Xavier Tricot.

Dertig jaar geleden richtten Ronny en Jessy Van de Velde in Antwerpen hun galerie op die zich oorspronkelijk toelegde op hedendaagse kunst. Vanaf midden jaren 1990 ging de kunstmarkt ten gevolge van de Golfoorlog echter door een diep dal en gooide Galerie Van de Velde het roer resoluut om door in te zetten op de grote namen van de historische avant-garde. Na een eerste retrospectieve van Marcel Duchamp groeide de galerie in enkele maanden tijd uit tot een selfmade museum met alles erop en eraan. Nadien volgden retrospectieven van Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Georges Vantongerloo, Marcel Broodthaers, James Ensor en talloze andere tentoonstellingen. Ronny Van de Velde noemt het een groot voordeel om in een crisistijd van start te gaan: ". de historische avant-garde was nog onontgonnen terrein, hele nalatenschappen wachtten op hun ontdekker." ////// Thirty years ago, Ronny and Jessy Van de Velde founded their gallery in Antwerp, which originally focused on contemporary art. From the mid-1990s, however, the art market went through a deep depression as a result of the Gulf War and Galerie Van de Velde resolutely changed course by focusing on the big names of the historical avant-garde. After a first retrospective of Marcel Duchamp, the gallery grew in a few months into a self-made museum with all the trimmings. Afterwards, retrospectives of Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Georges Vantongerloo, Marcel Broodthaers, James Ensor and countless other exhibitions followed. Ronny Van de Velde calls it a great advantage to start in a time of crisis: "the historical avant-garde was still unexplored territory, entire legacies were waiting for their discoverer." The secret of Ronny: that is his wife Jessy. She is the reality principle, she curbs his tendency to megalomania, until his feet almost touch the ground, but not quite. The spirit of gallery and family is characterized by a close connection with Antwerp. Sometimes to the point of sentiment. Also pragmatic: that city has a size that you can sufficiently master with the necessary dedication and perseverance. In that city, the gallery could become uncontournable. The book is published on the occasion of the first in a series of 5 exhibitions in the MUHKA that evoke the history of the gallery. The first is dedicated to Jef Geys and his "Eat Art" and will take place from January 28 to February 20, 2022. This is followed by the Happenings from March 25 to April 24, 2022. Het geheim van Ronny: dat is zijn vrouw Jessy. Zij is het realiteitsprincipe, zij remt zijn neiging tot megalomanie af, tot zijn voeten bijna de grond raken, maar niet helemaal. De geest van galerie en familie wordt gekenmerkt door een innige verbondenheid met Antwerpen. Soms op het sentimentele af. Ook pragmatisch: die stad heeft een formaat dat je met de nodige toewijding en volharding voldoende kan beheersen. In die stad kon de galerie incontournable worden. Het boek verschijnt naar aanleiding van een eerste in een reeks van 5 tentoonstellingen in het MUHKA die de geschiedenis van de galerie evoceren. De eerste is gewijd aan Jef Geys en zijn "Eat Art" en gaat door van 28 januari tot 20 februari 2022. Daarna volgen deHappenings van 25 maart tot 24 april 2022.
