On 28 April 2023, Rinus Van de Velde will allow visitors insight into his thought processes and artistic practice during his Artist Talk at Museum Voorlinden. The event coincides with the artist’s solo exhibition The Armchair Voyager, on view until 29 May 2023, and will be followed by a book signing of the accompanying catalogue.

Rinus Van de Velde’s drawings, sculptures, installations and moving images will be the subject of a special solo exhibition at the Museum Voorlinden, for which the artist will present his own work alongside his favourite pieces from the museum’s collection. Most known for his monumental charcoal drawings with a picturesque quality, Van de Velde creates intriguing, almost filmic scenes in which elements from reality and imagination merge.

Rinus Van de Velde’s work is included in the exhibition A Line Around an Idea, which brings together work by contemporary artists and architects whose practices demonstrate how drawing can be a creative – and disruptive – force, a way of knowing the world through observation, but also a medium that can redraw the lines to present different histories and representations.

Rinus Van de Velde – A Fictional Autobiography will be available for purchase on 1 December 2022. An impressive survey of Van de Velde’s drawings, the monograph offers insight into the artist’s persistent exploration of installation, film, charcoal, ceramics and pencil drawings, and his newer drawings in charcoal, pencil and oil paste. Featuring contributions by Jan Postma and Laura Stamps the text is published in association with Frac des Pas de la Loire, Nantes.
