About the artist:
Mark VERDOES (The Hague 1960)
Photographer, painter, sculptor.
Education:
Verdoes studied Photographic Design at the School of Photography and Photonics in The Hague, later studied Drawing & Painting at the Royal Academy of Art.
Lives and works in Wageningen and also has a studio in India.
After his initial training, Mark Verdoes worked as a reportage photographer for AvantGarde and Esquire, among others. Shortly after 2000, however, he sought new creative challenges and started painting and sculpting, for which he followed a course at the KABK. After working in a studio for a number of years, Verdoes felt the urge to photograph again. However, the knowledge of form, paint and composition that he had acquired through painting had influenced his ideas about photography. Since then, Verdoes feels free to adjust color, lighting and the like of photos taken. The result is a cross between photography and painting, often inspired by the Tao and nature: Verdoes likes to call it 'visual poetry'.
Exhibitions and awards:
Mark Verdoes' work has been exhibited in Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates, among others.
