Rik van IERSEL (Maastricht 1961) - GROOT

Impressively large screen print - Rik van Iersel has a series of exhibitions behind him, each of which has published idiosyncratic catalogues. Van Iersel is very curious about materials, about media and about life itself. As an eighteen-year-old, he designs posters for pop concerts of the Effenaar. He draws comics, plays drums in Der Junge Hund and makes his first large colourful expressionist paintings that 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.
