Koen Vermeule Dreamer

Edición de la obra Koen Vermeule Dreamer

There is a well-known picture by Amsterdam artist Koen Vermeule entitled "Out and about." In an interview, he said that this would be "a good title for the whole of my work": he constantly travels all over the world. His pictures begin in the street; he elevates the street and begins to give it a new shape and to create stories. This gives his art a resemblance to Street Art and to comic art-which, in fact, is where it began. The artistic language he uses to depict the people he encounters all over the world-from the "Tokyo Dreamer" to the coloured shoe cleaner in "The Call"--Is also as large as life.
