Inès Van den Kieboom

Inès Van den Kieboom (°1930) maakt al schilderijen sinds 1970, maar stelde ze tot nu toe slechts vier keer tentoon. Tweemaal kort nadat ze begon te schilderen en twee keer heel recent in Antwerpen, waar ze sinds 2022 ook vertegenwoordigd wordt door Tim Van Laere Gallery.
Van den Kieboom vindt voor haar werken vooral inspiratie in haar dagelijkse omgeving, maar ook in de kunstgeschiedenis, de populaire cultuur en de actualiteit. Haar onderwerpen schildert of tekent ze door een filter van haar herinneringen of indrukken die ze - geabstraheerd tot hun essentie - figuratief weergeeft. Van den Kiebooms schilderijen zijn zelfverzekerd, geanimeerd en energiek en bieden nieuwe perspectieven op de manier waarop we de wereld observeren.

Publicatie bij de tentoonstelling in Tim Van Laere Gallery van 23 maart tot 13 mei 2023.
Met een tekstbijdrage van Petra Maclot.

Inès Van den Kieboom (b. 1930) has been painting since 1970, but has only exhibited her work four times so far: twice soon after she started painting and twice very recently in Antwerp, where she has also been represented by Tim Van Laere Gallery since 2022. Van den Kieboom mainly finds inspiration for her works in her everyday surroundings, but also in art history, popular culture and current affairs. She paints or draws her subjects through the filter of her memories or impressions, which she depicts figuratively, abstracted to their essence. Van den Kieboom's self-assured, lively and energetic paintings offer new perspectives on the way we observe the world.
Publication accompanying the exhibition at Tim Van Laere Gallery from 23 March to 13 May 2023.With text contributions by Petra Maclot and others.
