Welcome to my site. My name is Guillaume Vogels, I work on paintings, watercolours, photography and sculptures. In my paintings and watercolours, which are my main works of art, I try to find a layered image that combines subtile colour changes, light and atmospheric effects. The layered images in my paintings remind me of some sort of patina and refer to all the work and time that has been put into the image, as if the work of art has existed for a very long time and has been touched by the wear and tear over the years. Like an old door in a building of which the paint has been peeled away, revealing old coats of paint and the wood, becoming a window into history. At the same time, skies inspire me while I work. Clouds, mist, light, shade and transparency are weather elements that give input for my works.

In 2000 I graduated from Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg. My graduation project consisted of a short film and a number of photographs I took in the neighbourhood where I lived, 'het Nieuwe Westen' in Rotterdam. For one year I worked on the project, gradually getting to know more people on the streets and in their houses. I put invitations in letterboxes, visited the mosque, talked to people and asked them to participate in the project by having their picture taken by me. I used an old technical camera, which forced me to take my time and thus create photos which had a very different atmosphere from snapshots. In the end I think this project was my way of portraying or mapping my neighbourhood.

Coming soon: Our exhibit at 'de Klokkezolder' at Kasteel van Rhoon. On Friday 9 December we will open our exhibition together with a cheese tasting event. Feel free to pass by or to have a look at all the art on Staurday 10 and Sunday 11 December. Hope to see you there.
