Biography

Rezi van Lankveld has gained recognition for her small-scale paintings. Her process-based work allows the paint to flow freely across the canvas to generate unexpected imagery. The artist will latch onto suggestive elements, such as lines or shapes which emerge from this mercurial process, and harness their potential to develop the construction of the overall painting— transforming what is perceived into what is created.
