About the artist
Willem van den Hoed’s work is a completely new approach to the medium photography: the hundreds of photographs he takes of the same location on different times of the day, with different light, function as brushstrokes to a painting. These fragments of light and time are built into large, very sharp photo-works, creating a new reality. It takes about one month to build one large photo-work.
Willem van den Hoed graduated from the department of Architecture of the Delft University of Technology in 1992. He established his own architecture-practice in 1998 and realized several projects under his own name in the Netherlands. From 2000 to 2006 the transition took place from the applied art of Architecture to the creative independence of the Artist.
Since 2007 the works have been shown at several museums and art galleries in The Netherlands as well as at numerous art fairs in Europe and Asia. Willem van den Hoed lives and works in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and Seoul (South Korea).
