Thea vos

Thea Vos wins Wageningen Cultural Round with paintings that spring to life. The jury is very impressed by the development in the work of Thea Vos. She has utilized the Corona period to free her dream figures from all existing paintings and also to let them populate the space outside the frame. Thea has created a consistent and credible own world that is simultaneously chilling and lucid. You recognize her figures from your dreams and might prefer not to see them because they remind you of underlying threats, irrationality, the elusive; a parallel world that undeniably exists but from which you would rather stay away. At the same time, they are playful and funny and so intriguing that they stick in your mind whether you like it or not. The work resonates even stronger in our current time with its pandemic, war, and climate threat. Work with a charge, in a beautiful own color palette and unmistakably Thea Vos.
