“Substantially as well as technically his work

is unique” a statement uttered by interior

architect G.F. Koopman, lecturer at the Art

Academy of Enschede, on the occasion of a solo

exhibition of Rien’s work. He concluded that

“every centimeter of Rien Vörgers’ work is a full

painting in itself”.

Another art critic, John M. Pameijer, stated

that “this man makes, like no one else, mosaics

in colors of inexorable quality working

scrupulously careful, like a monk”.

He writes further in his daily paper: “Even though

Rien never ends looking for problems, their solution

lies always in the transparent representation of

them. A gun that shoots cigarettes, which explode

like crawfish, forces the fuming spectator to stop

smoking. His art has the impact of a pamphlet, but

is also tasteful enough for people with a healthy

appetite for attractive art”.
