Rinus Van De Velde 2017, Interview & expo Rinus Van de Velde by Tim Van Laere
Antwerpen, Tim Van Laere Books 2017, 2017 Original publishers paper-covered boards, 108 pages , 25,5 x 21,5 cm, Illustrated. ISBN 9789082714517.
This publication was made on the occasion of the fourth solo exhibition of Rinus Van de Velde at Tim Van Laere Gallery (7 september ? 21 october 2017). Van de Velde is one of the leading figures of the Belgian contemporary art scene. Over the past few years, he has built a strikingly coherent oeuvre, mainly consisting of monumental, narrative charcoal drawings. Although these drawings still play a prominent role in his work, Van de Velde evolves increasingly towards a ?total artist?, creating a tension between fiction and reality by the use of different media. This exhibition is Van de Velde?s first Belgian exhibition after his successful expo at the S.M.A.K. in 2016. Instead of relying on his previous success, Van de Velde wishes to walk new ways and to experiment with forms, compositions, styles and content. Here, Van de Velde creates his own universe by means of drawings, sculptures, decorative elements and ceramics. He was inspired by ?Prisoners of the Sun?, a volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Herg . The simple plot and the surrealist compositions of this adventure story serve as the basis for a fragmentary interpretation in which one of the artist?s alter egos, the abstract expressionist artist Robert Rino, is being kidnapped by a collector. While the artist is forced to produce work, his two assistants are trying to rescue him. Van de Velde?s work blends reality and fantasy, creating a complex world in which documentation and fiction, reproduction and reconstruction intrinsically tie together.

Eerste publicatie over de veelbesproken films van Rinus Van de Velde "Films is een van de strafste boeken van de kunstenaar Rinus Van de Velde tot dusver. Al bladerend door de vele stills zie je hoe filmsc nes hun weerslag vonden in tekeningen en expo?s met de allure van een totaalkunstwerk." Rinus Van de Velde (1983) is een van de meest spraakmakende hedendaagse kunstenaars. Sinds 2019 voegde hij het medium film toe aan zijn brede oeuvre van tekeningen, installaties en keramiek. Deze publicatie geeft inkijk in de manier waarop zijn verrassende films met de prachtige handgemaakte decors tot stand komen. Op weergaloze wijze ontwricht de totaalkunstenaar het normaliteitsbesef van de toeschouwer in een eeuwigdurend spel van waarheid en fictie, van authenticiteit en kopie. In The Villagers begeeft de toeschouwer zich in Van de Veldes universum. Een belangrijke rol is weggelegd voor de zeventien levensgrote kartonnen sets waaraan hij twee jaar werkte. Het verhalende evolueerde naar een meer abstracte vorm van expressie in La Ruta Natural. Voor deze tweede film, die een surrealistische roadrip capteert, liet Van de Velde een masker maken naar zijn evenbeeld. Zijn recentste film, A Life in a Day, is introspectief en toont het innerlijke proces van de kunstenaar. Het resultaat is een intieme en pure ontdekkingstocht waarin Van de Velde zichzelf van op een afstand analyseert en zijn kunstenaarschap visueel vormgeeft. Talrijke stills, tekeningen, decors, atelier- en expobeelden brengen de films van Van de Velde tot leven in dit indrukwekkende boek, waarvoor auteur Timon Karl Kaleyta de teksten schreef. Films wordt uitgegeven samen met een vinyl van de filmsoundtracks door Joachim Badenhorst.
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.
, Ludion, 2021 Hardcover, 416 pp., 24.5 x 32.5 cm, Hardcover, Multilingual edition, ill. ENG/ NL edition. ISBN 9789493039605.
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 L on 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.
