Rinus Van de Velde (Belgian, b. 1983), The painter. It is only when the paint starts to dry that I recover a sense of self, and with my recovered sense of self comes the deep and complex terror of shame. On my rock, outside the cabin, I am Rinus van de Velde. I can’t remember what has happened, but since I am covered in paint, I know that the colours must have driven me insane. They always do. Inside the cabin stands another failed canvas I don’t dare to face. Not a painter, not a body artist, not even a deranged outsider eating his cadmium yellow. Blue, red, yellow, all the same to me: dirt., 2014. Charcoal on canvas, 200 x 250 cm.
