José Heerkens at Verein für aktuelle Kunst Ruhrgebiet

We are pleased to announce José Heerkens forthcoming exhibition at Verein für aktuelle Kunst Ruhrgebiet (Association for Contemporary Art for the Ruhr region) in Oberhausen, Germany. José Heerkens is a Dutch painter whose minimalist paintings explore the sense of movement created when colors interact and communicate with each other within a dimensional, lined space. She lives and works in Zeeland, Netherlands.
