About Me

My Photo
ewoud van rijn
Van Rijn regards the image space of his often large scale and overwrought images as a mataforical and fictional space that simultaneously positions itself within, beyond, aside and in front of everyday reality. It’s content is fuelled by the ever recurring discussion on the end of art and the death of painting in particular, which is taken as a metaphor for todays cultural state of affairs. Recently, this has lead into researches on ‘dead’ cultures that are being ‘revived’; specifically northern european pagan cults.
