Interview
Rainald Schumacher:
Recently, in late 2004/early 2005, you had a wonderful exhibition at Gemeentemuseum in Den Haag combining paintings and sculptures.(1) The sculptures are done in different materials - from wood, metal and paper to cardboard and plastic and they look like small-scale models for visionary houses, built by the people themselves. Some parts are sophisticatedly painted, some parts are just left as the material and they have a touch of low-tech and do-it-yourself. Looking through your works from the past years, you seem to have worked mostly in three dimensions as a sculptor. When did you start working on paintings?
Veron Urdarianu: I started painting in the late sixties, in Romania. When I came to the Netherlands I concentrated mostly on the sculptures. In the seventies and eighties, I made a lot of "painted" drawings, with American oil-sticks, paint and tape. From 1990 on, I started to paint on canvas, still making sculptures as well.
