Abstract

The music boy' exhibition at the New Art Gallery Walsall is the artist's first in the United Kingdom. A 168-page hardback, illustrated catalogue featuring extensive essays by Andrew Graham-Dixon and Martin Herbert, as well as a foreword by Charlotte Mullins was published on the occasion. The exhibition is titled after a quadriptych of paintings depicting the artist's grandmother and his uncle playing an accordion. Jan Vanriet's work mainly concerns the memory of history and the construction of pictorial surface. As Martin Herbert writes: 'Vanriet builds up his paintings in layers, and the strata of underpainting have, in his case, a polyvalent quality. In some cases they form glazes that gift the paintings with an internal glow.' Exhibition: The New Art Gallery Walsall, Walsall, UK (29.01-08.05.2016).
