Colour -- free and connected: José Heerkens

  • Alternate title

    José Heerkens

Abstract

"The paintings of José Heerkens are all about colour. On her canvases, she arranges precisely coordinated colours along lines and in grids. Heerkens often leaves part of the linen unpainted to ensure that the work remains 'open enough to enter', as she herself says. You can almost get inside the painting by allowing your eye to 'wander' through the canvas, past staggered areas of colour, the rhythm of lines, compactions in the paint layer and interruptions in the brushstroke." --Publisher's website (viewed on May 5, 2023).
