Galerie Larik / Aftersale – Roy Villevoye
Roy Villevoye is a versatile and renowned artist who began his career as a painter and later embraced photography, film, and sculpture. Ever since 1992, he has traveled regularly to the Asmat in southwestern Papua, a community with which he has built a long-standing and close relationship. This region has a fraught history of colonization and exploitation, forming an important context for his work.
In his art, Villevoye explores mutual engagement and cultural exchange, as well as the tension between different worldviews. His photographs are not staged images; they arise from personal encounters and shared experiences. In doing so, he captures not merely situations, but also the complexity of human relationships. With these images, he creates narratives that do not direct, but rather invite reflection and discussion. At the same time, he makes discomfort and misunderstandings visible, ensuring his work remains layered and confronting.
Alongside this exhibition, we also have a special Presale event starting this coming Sunday, September 21. During the presale and exhibition, you can purchase an original photograph by Villevoye for the exceptionally attractive price of €275. The sizes of the photographs vary from 16×28 cm to 21×28 cm. Each photograph is available in an edition of only two:
•One copy is available exclusively during the exhibition.
•The other copy is sold online during our presale.
