Willem de Rooij

Munich

The work of Dutch artist Willem de Rooij is known for establishing visual correlations between film, photography, sculpture, anthropological and art-historical research, fashion, and less conventional means of expression such as flower bouquets.

Now, in his solo exhibition Untilted at the Kunstverein Munich, De Rooij focuses on a single medium. He shows monumental hand-woven tapestries. Explored in these works is a range of variations: a gradual transition from silver to gold (‚Vertigo’s Doll‘, 2010) or a slow evolution from one quality of black into another (‚Black to Black‘, 2011). On closer inspection, a pink monochrome is revealed as the product of ten different shades of pink (‚Mechanize her Jenny‘, 2011).
