Artist
The second exhibition held by the Art Center was the Dutch artist Teun Hocks (1947-, Born in Leiden), the title of the exhibition is: Commedia Dell’ Arte Dutch Style.
Hocks ‘s works are different, they are interesting, joyful but they also permeate the meaning of tragedy, sadness or melancholy. Hocks is an artist who is full of temptation and revealing the truth. Our lives are multifaceted. And we often bring face to face wanders, hides our feelings or pretends to be extraordinary. Although the scenes in Hocks’ paintings are almost familiar to us. Yet, but through his works we get a deeper experience, funny, strange, absurd, tragedy.
The artist himself being immersed in the scene, like actors on stage playing with these rules, his work shows the “quiet” state of drama. In this field, Hocks has a wide range of whimsical ideas, and can clearly show this dramatic form in front of us, every time is different. The names of his works are called “Untitled”, because we can learn from the works by ourselves.
