Rezi van Lankveld (b.1973, Almelo, Netherlands), lives in Amsterdam

The paintings of Dutch artist Rezi van Lankveld, a regular guest tutor at De Ateliers, sometimes seem to allude to the visible world (landscapes for instance) but remain unnameable and abstract. In an interplay of rhythmic organic form, brooding colour and spatial depth, the small canvases evoke sensations of intimacy and sensuality. Van Lankveld’s recent exhibitions include Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci (Prato, 2013), Contemporary Art Museum (St. Louis, 2009), Kestnergesellschaft (Hannover, 2008), Museum van Loon (Amsterdam (2006-2007), GEM (The Hague, 2006) and Museum Kunst Palast (Düsseldorf, 2005). The artist is represented by Petzel Gallery (New York), The Approach (London) and Annet Gelink Gallery (Amsterdam).
