Robert Zandvliet
Robert Zandvliet is a Dutch painter born in 1970 in Terband. He received an MFA from De Ateliers, in Amsterdam in 1994, and is recognized for his explorative approach to color, line, and space in abstracted landscapes. With a career of over 30 years, his artistic practice evolves and shifts over time, with each collection dedicated to a certain study, such as the essence of color, nuances, and depths of the darker palette. This way, Zandvliet uncovers gaps in his knowledge, underexplored components of his oeuvre, and directly delves into them. Despite his deep-rooted interest in elemental subjects and the natural world, Zandvliet’s work resists realism and focuses on artifice instead. His art is featured in major collections such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Kunstmuseum in Bonn, and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
