For more than 40 years, Kees de Goede has created tangible responses to the news through his work, from a poignant photograph or a striking headline to coverage of major international events. Newspapers serve as both subject matter and carriers of images in his series ‘Astral drawings’. He paints, draws, and applies gold leaf to the pages, or manipulates the printed paper in other ways. The works express a great curiosity about and engagement with the world. Recurring themes include space, science, faith, violence, racism, and geopolitics. The series tells the artist’s own story – how he has experienced a rapidly changing world during the years surrounding the millennium transition.
