To say there is art in culture is no different than saying the sky is blue, and the rain will dry. It is through the transmission of culture, and the mixing of them, that art ascends past its traditional representation and takes upon itself a new form. The work of Hans Withoos does exactly this, in the inherent mixing of the beauty of form, with the deep and varied cultural heritage of not only his works but his ancestors and the entirety of the Dutch cultural landscape.The integral facets of Mattias Withoos’ works that Hans pays homage to, amongst the Delft Blue porcelain that adorns the work and characters contribute to a blending of thoughts, playfulness, and realism in the absurd that define the signature style of the Hans' works.

“I am fascinated by beauty in all its aspects: the beauty of drama, of the body and of light, as well as the beauty of suffering. My photography is set in a world of abundance and artifice, suggesting a certain decadence…My work is multi-layered, with carefully staged images and an idiosyncratic aesthetic.” - hans withoos
