Lives and works in Amsterdam

biography

Ido Vunderink (Amsterdam, 1955) lives and works in Amsterdam. Since the 1980s, he has built a diverse artistic practice that has been presented extensively both in the Netherlands and internationally, across solo exhibitions and prominent group shows.

Vunderink studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where he developed a painterly approach that has continued to evolve over the decades. His works have been shown in institutions and project spaces that highlight his engagement with contemporary dialogues in painting and visual culture.

Notable solo exhibitions include Untitled at Willem Baars Projects, Amsterdam (2016); Men, Women and Children at Vleeshal, Middelburg (1993); Faces and Names at Galeria Il Ponte, Rome (1992); Brussels Junior High at Beursschouwburg, Brussels; It’s a Boy at Centraal Museum Utrecht; and Paintings at Galerie Zebra, Amsterdam (1982).

His work has also been featured in key group exhibitions such as Quantum Vis at Service Garage, Amsterdam (2009); Wall of Fame as part of the Nachtwacht Research Program, Amsterdam (2007–08); The Rimmfishhorn Handicap at the Istanbul Biennial, Turkey (1993); Black Power at Kunstverein, Düsseldorf (1992); Team Spirit in various venues across the USA and Canada (1990); Never marry a Railroadman at Arti et Amicitiae, Amsterdam (1989); and The Dangerous Kitchen at Wetering Galerie, Amsterdam (1988).
