Rhododendron

Art, Collage, Contemporary, photograpy

These photo collages are a study of form and an inspiration for sculptural works. I have a fascination for the shapes, size and rhythm of these beautiful rhododendrons. To me they can also be enjoyed just for what they are. One of many important structures of bedding that shape the environment which we live in or spaces we pass through, especially parks. By using these photo’s in a collage manner of working, I was able to move them just the way I wanted. Will be continued….

These cut-out works on paper came as a result of a longing to bring simple forms and shapes together with a more picturesque background, cluster together as one group of forms in an imaginaire landscape. They could be a border of plants or architectural buildings or big stones.

Arrangments

Art

A Series of collages made with the photo’s I took from a composition with shoe molds. Combined with cut-outs and a diversity of materials. Some more graphic, others with a more painting-like effect. The possibilities seem endless but every little change in the image seems to have its way of working. I like the tension between the flat cut out forms that seem to want to suggest a more spacious 3-dimensional representation.

 

Object d’Espace

Art

Een ruimtelijk object gemaakt van eenvoudige materialen. Een lap stof en een stuk hout die samen een duidelijke contrast laten zien en daarmee ook tegelijk een gewenste dieptewerking geven.  Het contrast zit ook in de subtiele pastel tinten in combinatie met de kleuren van het ongelakte hout en de juist warme kleur van de gedrapeerde doek die vorm geeft. Hiermee wordt op een doeltreffende manier een ruimte gesuggereerd die eigenlijk ook eenvoudig weer opgeheven kan worden. Object of space.

Table / Cloth

Art, Contemporary, Dutch Contemporain Artist, Mixed media, Moderne kunst, Object art, Sculpture

As a starting point I took a detail of a heavy tablecloth or carpet as shown often on paintings from 17th century, like a Vermeer for example. I’ve always loved the way in which the heavy carpet on these tables fall down the corner of the table and how it makes a sculptural form on the floor. Also the colorful pattern is important here, but more in a suggestive way that you see what is left over from the detailed design when it folds. The pattern of the tablecloth is more abstract and without figurative details.
