Exploring Klein Hofmeijer: Themes in His Art

A man with curly hair and glasses stands on a beach, looking down. The image is in black and white, with a calm sea and cloudy sky in the background.

At times, one must stand literally face to face with a piece by Klein Hofmeijer to fully comprehend the precise structure and cohesion of its various components. He consistently manages to absorb external artistic influences (such as art, literature, film, and music) and weave them together into an unmistakable style.

From March 7th to June 1st, Museum van Bommel van Dam will extensively explore the various themes and motifs present in Hans Klein Hofmeijer’s work. Along with a thematic focus on series such as “Lichtvangers,” “de Achterkant van de Schilder,” and “Inktmannen,” there will also be significant attention given to his complex word images, inventive use of materials, and thought-provoking statements about his artistry.
