The recent paintings have a clear structure — an established plan consisting of two horizontal rows of five equal sections placed alongside each other. Within those sections we continue to see the same visual elements: a box shape and short cylinders that are hovering or falling in front of a monochrome background. The paintings have come about through a complicated process involving acrylic paint, 'membranes' of acrylic binder and very thinly applied oil paint.
Verhoef avoids dogma and questions rules. He is amazed at the still-prevalent notion that life can be controlled. It is precisely the fragmented quality and the complexity of our world that he embraces. That is why he seeks, within the structures that he has strictly imposed upon himself, the point at which the elements begin to shift: "I want the image to be unstable and to go adrift. You figure things out by setting them in motion, by giving them free rein."
