Erwin van Krey, born 1959 in Tilburg (NL), lives and works in Vught (NL)
Studied at the Royal Academy of Art and Design, 's-Hertogenbosch, graduated in 1983.
With his first Amsterdam show epithets like 'romantic suburban scenery' became velcroed to his nonconformistic images.
His seductive works are based on 'found footage' such as photos from magazines and folders, film stills and reproductions from art history.
He chooses specific fragments from these pictures to create his own image. The settings and images often give an impression of melancholy and intimacy, but are also influenced by Surrealism. His atmospheric paintings keep in equilibrium a familiar realism with a nebulous distance.
The artist has been invited to many exhibitions. His work is in private collections in Europe and overseas.
