Hans Neleman is a Dutch-born, critically acclaimed artist known for his innovative and thought-provoking visual narratives. Through his photography and mixed-media artworks, Neleman challenges conventional historical interpretations, pushing boundaries and inviting viewers to reconsider the boundaries and perceptions of the past.
'In his solo show at Anderson Contemporary, HISTORY ON HOLD, Hans Neleman advances contemporary art on a modernist backbone. With an expressive and brilliantly harmonious construct, Neleman reminds us that we are a past not always recalled, we are pieces until connected, we are a history held in the pages torn from the devotion of experiences lived. Hans masters a beautifully lyrical language to deconstruct and reconnect the lives we chapter to memory to measure in our own, the lives now lived forever in a History on Hold.
Hans Neleman describes his own artistic development as a journey of connected events. Photography connected portraits; portraits connected history; history connected fragments of time and place; and those fragments connect sculpted assemblies to build something new, something real. It is from this new real – this redeemed, reconstructed, reclaimed real – that Neleman also paints. He could not paint this without his photography, without his collage and assemblage, without an experience of connected events. Neleman has lived his art, and because of that it is real.'
