Résumé:
With her monumental, epic paintings Verhoeven’s work appears to examine the collective memory of ceremonial gatherings, behind which a landscape of nightmares and ghostly phenomena is concealed. Verhoeven makes a conscious choice to allude to historical art by making references to artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Goya and De Chirico in her work.
