Bas Coenegracht’s latest exhibition, I Have More Souls Than One, invites visitors into an introspective world where his figures exist in a liminal space between realism and abstraction, and between reality and imagination. Drawing on photographic references before reworking the images from memory, Coenegracht opens a narrative realm that feels both contemporary and timeless. Central to this exhibition is the theme of transition—between places, thoughts, and realizations. The inner worlds of the depicted figures, inspired by the resilience of protesters standing up for their rights, explore the tension between hope and reality. This process mirrors the act of painting itself, where ideas and emotions are translated into visual, tactile expressions. The paintings’ abstracted, vividly colored environments evoke a sublime experience, reflecting the psychological states of their subjects. Distorted and textured, these compositions resemble fragmented memories—rich with glitches and imperfections—that reveal a layered understanding of both personal and collective realities. I Have More Souls Than One is an exploration of motion and meaning, a journey through Coenegracht’s deeply reflective vision of the world.
