The Armchair Voyager - Rinus Van de Velde

With drawings, sculptures, installations and moving images, Rinus Van de Velde (1983) creates intriguing, almost cinematic scenes in which elements from our reality and his imagination merge.
The 'James Dean of the Belgian art world' is known for his monumental charcoal drawings with a picturesque quality. His work reads like a series of shots, which together tell about the strange travels and fictional encounters of his alter ego. He is creating an exhibition especially for Voorlinden in which he combines his own work with his favorite works from the museum's collection.
