Artist Talk with Guido van der Werve

“Guido van der Werve has been described as the love child of German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich and the Dutch conceptualist Bas Jan Ader. He has that northern European preoccupation with isolation, sadness and introspection, compounded by an absurd sense of humour.”

—The Guardian
