Rik van IERSEL (Maastricht 1961) He has a series of exhibitions behind him, each of which has produced idiosyncratic catalogs. Van Iersel is very curious about materials, about media and about life itself. As an eighteen-year-old he designs posters for pop concerts at the Effenaar. He draws comics, plays the drums in Der Junge Hund and makes his first large colorful expressionist paintings, which immediately lead to a solo exhibition at Galerie Willy Schoots. In the years that follow, Rik van Iersel exhibits in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, New York and San Francisco. It is wonderfully beautiful and completely framed, with Passe-Partout and glass.
