About the Item

Signed, titled, dated and numbered, diasec flush mount. Ruud Van Empel’s fantastical photographic portraits of children in verdant floral landscapes convey an air of innocence and a rose-tinted appreciation of the natural world. The surrealistic quality of Van Empel’s compositions is heightened by his digital collage technique, in which he compiles images from a vast stock of photographs and positions them as the composite elements of his finished works. His undulating fields of flowers grant the photographic tableaux an underlying feeling of stitched-together strangeness. Van Empel has exhibited in New York, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris, Tokyo, Prague, Barcelona, and Seoul. His works are in the collections of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, the Stedelijk Museum Breda, the Rijksmuseum, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, among many others.
