The landscapes that Joran van Soest (1994) shows in this exhibition demonstrate his affinity with the Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich. Like the German painter, the figures, or the absence of figures in his works, draw you into the image, as if it is you looking out over the depicted landscape. In this way, Joran van Soest questions the relation of the viewer to the image and invites the viewer to a conversation. He also does this by screen-printing photographs of himself as a child on the bases of his collages. With these recognisable images, like those of zeppelins and parachutes, he sets out to investigates collective memory with the viewer. Joran van Soest graduated from the AKV St. Joost art academy in Den Bosch two years ago. Last year, his first own retrospective was on display at the Noordbrabants Museum.
