Henk Visch 1950 -
Henk Visch was born in Eindhoven and is a sculptor, draftsman and graphic artist. He was trained as a graphic artist at the Royal Academy of Art and Design in 's Hertogenbosch (1968-1972). For a long time he made etchings and drawings, mostly of fairytale figures. After a stay in New York he also devoted himself to making sculptures from the early 80s, which brought him fame. He represented the Netherlands at the Venice Biennale in 1988 and three years later at Documenta 9 in Kassel. This brought his work to the attention of a wide audience. His sculptures vary from monumental wooden constructions and large polyester shapes to small objects made of found material. He compares making sculptures with thinking out loud in wood, paint and other materials. He is not concerned with depicting visible reality, but for him the image must be a metaphor for reality and experiences. The titles he gives to his works are remarkable; they are often poetic and evoke associations and meanings in the viewer. Language and work reinforce each other. He also places texts on or next to his artworks. His images are often quiet and withdrawn, stylized figures of people and animals, that are almost delicately balanced. Some seem to seek balance within themselves, only to almost lose it.
