Gallery Sofie Van de Velde: Solo show Kees Goudzwaard & Group show Words are very Unnecessary

Antwerp, Nieuw Zuid, Kees Goudzwaard, An Optismist's View & Group Show, Words are very Unnecessary, 29 March - 4 May 2025
 

Kees Goudzwaard (b. 1958 in Utrecht, NL) currently resides in Antwerp (BE) and works in Reusel (NL). At first glance, Goudzwaard's artworks appear to be minimalist color studies composed of rectangular pieces of paper and tape.

Gallery Sofie Van de Velde is also proud to present Words are very Unnecessary, a group exhibition that brings together artists whose practices navigate the space between presence and absence. With reduced forms, quiet materials, and restrained gestures, these works challenge the need for explanation or excess.

О ГАЛЕРЕЕ

Галерея Sofie Van de Velde, расположившаяся в двух пространствах в Антверпене, воплощает дух предпринимательства в искусстве. Участвуя в различных ярмарках, организуя выставки, галерея представляет художников через свою надежную международную сеть. Философия Sofie Van de Velde строится на сотрудничестве и возможности делиться, поэтому она отметает традиционную модель конкурирующей галереи. Исходя из собственного опыта, Sofie Van de Velde предпочитает соединять модернистское и современное искусство и искать связи между ними.
