Henk van Vessem

Henk van Vessem was born in Rotterdam in 1939. His work has been displayed in galleries and is held in private and corporate collections domestically and internationally, as well as in the art collection of the Royal House.

His paintings and screen prints employ strongly contrasting colors, while his pastels work with softer tones. In his drawings, the representations become nearly transparent. His canvases feature expressionistic landscapes created with paint and palette knife, built from reflections of a mental nature rather than literal fields or roads. The titles he gives to his works guide viewers through the experience.
