“I began exploring this environment as if, during a work period abroad, I were encountering this area for the first time. I started walking around the area near my home (Eindhoven) and studio (Valkenswaard). This rekindled my interest in my homeland and strengthened the urge for a painterly and project-based investigation into my own birthplace”.
The exhibition at the Van Abbehuis is the (provisional) conclusion of this research trajectory.
