Cat was there wi...

Kees is a Dutch visual artist who graduated from the Art Academy of Amsterdam in 1984. His early works were primarily abstract oil paintings. From around 1995 he shifted almost exclusively to photographic work, though his process is still very much associated with the techniques of abstract painting.

Subtext and Discourse | Art World PodcastInterview with artist Torsten Schumann | EP2 Subtext & Discourse Podcast
On 2. September 2018 gallerist Michael Dooney sat down with German photographer Torsten Schumann (b.1975 Dresden, Germany) to find out more about his artistic practice and back story.
