Content:
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.00The paintings are translations of impressions that Heerkens gained in the surroundings of her studio, but also on her travels to Iceland, the United States, Australia, or Latvia. The spatial experiences of the magnificent landscapes are conveyed in the titles for series, such as Pilgrimage or Five Colour Walk. 00Colour ? Free and Connected is accompanied by a publication with the same title, featuring texts by Wita Noack, director of the Mies van der Rohe Haus in Berlin, and publicist and curator Jurriaan Benschop, and designed by Irma Boom.00Exhibition: Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, The Netherlands (21.01. - 02.07.2023)
