Hans van Horck begins his artistic career as a watercolourist and paints portraits and female nudes. His wife Anita Duijf often models for his work. Over time, the work becomes increasingly abstract and expressive. Watercolour painting is exchanged for working with (acrylic) paint. Large quantities are applied to the canvas, sometimes very pasty, sometimes liquid with a reference to his earlier watercolours. The canvases always lie flat when the artist is working on them. An additional advantage is that he can walk around the canvas and can constantly assess the composition from all sides.
The paintings and sculptures of Hans van Horck are inspired by the mythology of Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. His works have a high degree of abstraction, but are rarely completely abstract. His work often contains symbols from ancient cultures or figurative elements from nature or architecture. The female nude also appears in his work every now and then. Van Horck does not care whether his work is labelled as lyrical-abstract, abstract-figurative or otherwise. He mentions Gerhard Richter and Caspar David Friedrich as important sources of inspiration.
Hans van Horck signs his work with 'vanhorck'. This is to avoid confusion with contemporary and visual artist Hans van Hoek. 'vanhorck', preferably written without a capital letter, is his trademark with which he acquires fame at home and abroad. In addition to exhibitions in many European cities, his work can be seen in San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Hans van Horck has lived and worked in Amersfoort since the end of the 20th century. His studio, which he shares with his wife Anita Duijf, is located on the top floor of Musiom in Amersfoort and is part of the museum.
