Description from the seller
About Vincent Rijs: is a successfully photographer, born in Amsterdam .In 2009 he ended his work at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie of Art in Amsterdam and began his training at the Image Masters Photography Lab, Amsterdam, where he graduated in 2012. In 2010 he settled as an autonomous photographer. A dream came true! His portfolio includes work for Vogue Italy and he has exposed his work in different Galleries in Amsterdam and Europe. His work is collected by "collectioneurs""
Reflection and mirroring are the motifs in Vincent Rijs' photographic work. Tranquil images with a warm color palette placed in a melancholy frame, sometimes with a touch of surrealism. He finds his inspiration in the dramatic chiaroscuro of the painters of the Golden Age, Caravaggio, Rembrandt. He himself says: “I want to paint with the lens”.
His compositions seem carefully directed, the characters in the picture seem to act in their scenes, but they are not. The choreography arises quite spontaneously. The beautiful, mystical atmosphere he evokes is somewhat uncertain. Vincent uses his photography to detect whether the projected image resonates with his feeling of a certain desolation, unprotectedness. A musing, but desperate desire to see the separate components of oneself reflected in the image of the other, to make half a body whole. Curious, he looks to see if “the other” is present in the reflection and returns the affection. Do we enter a different world there that is also recognizable in a strange way?
