Emo Verkerk is a painter like no other. His disarming work shamelessly convinces the viewer. He enriches and deepens his paintings with colourful images that go hand in hand with conceptual thinking. In Emo Verkerk's constructed reality, every touch takes an unexpected turn, comparable to experimental jazz.
‘Emo Verkerk - Tanquam’ presents a beautiful overview of the disarming and colourful work of Emo Verkerk. The artist is firmly rooted in the Dutch painting tradition. His work leans towards total anarchy; it regularly balances on the edge and sometimes even almost surpasses it. But in the end, his work always falls into place.
