Rijs: “I shoot with my head, impressions eventually converted in an image. Still I experience that visualization process with wonder, similar to the former analog printing process of the predigitale era. Pure Magic if the image appears in the coating”.

                                                    Vincent Rijs BE-MIRAGE

Reflection and mirroring are the motives in the photographic work of Vincent Rijs.
Hushed images with a warm colour palette placed in a melancholy frame, sometimes with a hint of surrealism. He finds his inspiration in the dramatic chiaroscuro of the painters of the Golden Age, Caravaggio, Rembrandt. His compositions seem carefully orchestrated, the characters in the picture apparently acting in their scenes, but it is not. The choreography arises quite spontaneously. The beautiful, mystical atmosphere it evokes is somewhat uncertain with a musing, sometimes wistful longing ... ..
there we enter an inner world that is also recognized again in a strange way?

press release

gallery CNCPT13 Prinsengracht 266 Amsterdam
The new work of Dutch photographer Vincent Rijs shows three intriguing series of photographs which are exhibited in 3D. Themes like death, levitation, transformation and the archetypal woman role are highlighted in a scenery of mounted animals.

The particular way of using light and colors and the beautiful styling of models characterize the portrait work of Rijs. In this exhibition you will see a strong reference to the Dutch Golden Age of painting: both in topic as in light. The photos almost look like a work of Vermeer, Caravaggio or Rembrandt and other master painters of light. But the work of Rijs has a certain surrealism to it. There are clearly stories behind the scenes, nothing is just a portrait, something is going on.

Curators for this exhibition are stylists Patrick Muller and Mare Bohlander. They thought of ways to make the photos come to life and break the distance between artwork and observer. Is the viewer really looking at a photo...or into a mirror?
