The exhibition consists of pieces which stretch the boundaries between sculpting and painting. Bas-relief like paintings and an installation all tell a fable of their own. The stories of this exhibition derive from the country side, coexistence with nature, slow-paced life far way from the big city.
I think there is no clear separation between sculpture and painting. Paint has a lot of features from subtle thin layers to thick plastic coatings. A sculpture can be reminiscent of a painting and a painting could resemble a bas-relief. In the Gathering of Fables - exhibition I indulge, make experiments, mix techniques and enjoy the freedom in doing so.
I love puzzling together a piece with the materials I have at hand. You can make art out of everything, the pieces suddenly will come together. Most of my materials are given to me, found from a ditch or dumpster dived. In a distinctive way they are descriptive of the place they are made at.
Opening of the show is held on Friday 10.1.2020 between 18-20.
Warmly welcome all!
