Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (also known as AMVK) is an artist of singular complexity. Born in 1951 in Antwerp, where she still lives and works, she has been active since the 1970s as a visual artist, graphic designer and performer. She has always been a pioneer. She should, first and foremost, be considered an artist for the future. AMVK’s practice is truly interdisciplinary.

M HKA wants to introduce Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven to a wider audience as an innovator of forms and interpreter of moods - as oxygen of the whole society.

"From 1975 onwards I started to exhibit my drawings. These drawings were made in cycles, as a result of too much experience with the world. This experience transformed itself into images in my subconscious. Kind of seismographic reproductions of an accumulation of inner life. Later on I began to make cycles of drawings in a more directed way. I need to create reason and meaning while connecting, in a systematic way, my actual fascinations and obsessions with what the world offers me at that moment." — AMVK
