Presentation at Portiersloge Groningen

Art exhibition, art installation, Contemporary Art, Mixed media

From 4 march till 4 april 2026 my work will be shown at the Gatekeepers lodge located at the Haddingestraat 26 in Groningen. For the duration of one month I was given the opportunity to make a presentation case with my work. For this occasion I have chosen to give the triptych ‘Morning in Dorsoduro’ a central place and with that work in mind I was inspired to make seven new works, which are directly related from the work ‘Morning in Dorsoduro’. The new works are abstract objects representing all sorts of windows, shutters, and a peace of cloth hanging out of a window. The lights are on from 11.00 till 23.00.

I started to make these sculptures out of cardboard box material to satisfy my need to make a three dimensional form. I wanted to build a form, shape that could be interesting to look at and at the same time would not represent anything in the sense of a subject. In these pictures the cardboard sculptures are presented as a solo form but in a bigger scale I want to make a composition as if it was an abstract painting. The fascination for these forms origin in the fact that i collect tiny boxes and packing material. Most of the time I unfold them and study their forms as if it were patterns of clothing. By making small adjustments in the shape, by cutting it, building it with other parts, glueing it together again, another form starts to reappear and they begin to speak for itself.
