“I experience the sculpture Le mariage arrangé (2021) by Henk Visch
as a kind of longing for painting or perhaps it is an image that wants
to say: “I would like to be a painter”.

To go on about this desire to paint, in every room of the Albert van
Abbehuis, there is a sculpture by Henk Visch that might enter into a
conversation with one or more paintings.
Five artists have been invited to this conversation, four of whom I did
not know personally. I have seen work by them in the past and their
images remained anchored on my retina.

Thus, this exhibition will be a conversation between diverse
approaches, different imagery, two- and three-dimensional work,
from which hopefully a suitable companion will emerge”.
Following this ‘mariage arrangé’ by Jos van der Sommen down its
natural path is to diverge and detour through personal memories and
the power of suggestion, where nothing is quite as it seems and the
journey is as meditative as it is winding.
