| Concept of Examen: |
| Sven Overheul is a gifted young artist. As the co-promotor of his MA, I know his work in depth. The past two years I've had the privilege to follow his evolution in the arts at close quarters. Sven's multi-disciplinary art practice includes video works, text works, sculptural objects and installation works.
In general his works have a cinematic nature; he combines still and moving images and objects with language in an intelligent narrative manner.
Sven's works are surprisingly mature for his age. On a formal level his works appear to being rather minimal and spare. The poetics and layers are subtly written between the lines. At times the works are a bit more explicit though, but they always have a clever twist. In general the works question our social habits and conditionings. Therefore one could label Sven a silent philosopher employing a language of modest and discrete images to question the human condition.
Best regards,
