    paint on wood; plexiglass, ebony, plaster

“These small untitled works are what I consider to be my first mature work. They consist of two parts, one colored, one white. One rectangular, one rounded off at the edges. Always mounted at a slight angle on the wall. Whenever I have new ideas or acquire new skills, it’s not uncommon for them to find a way to be incorporated into this ever growing body of work.”

“Scale is important in this work. After creating this version on the scale I wanted, I have made some smaller sculptures to varying degrees of succes. Without the facilities to store works of this size, I however haven’t been able to develop the work further.”

    A Park is a Place for Strolling
    2017 – present
    Kerstroosplein 32, Eindhoven, the Netherlands

“In 2017 I created a full-scale miniature park on a small plot of land in my garden. This park has all the elements one would expect to find in a park. This of course includes an out of place sculpture, for which I’ve invited an artist every year to create a work.

Hamer Körmeling was followed by Neel de Bruycker in 2018. In 2019 there was a summer and a winter edition, with Henri Jacobs in summer and Alex Farrar showing his ‘Semblable Wood’ from December on.”

    Flawless Victory
    2016 – present
    Kerstroosplein 32, Eindhoven, the Netherlands

“As any garden needs upkeep and attention, I was working outside one day maintaining the grass of my garden when four children walked up. They were little tough guys, about 8 years old I think, so one of them asked me a question: ‘Sir, do you think this is beautiful?’. Curious to find out what they had to say I replied that I didn’t really have an opinion and that I was just there to maintain it. Two of the other boys said they found it ugly and this went back and forth for a while until the the last boy, who had been silent up to then, decided to speak up. As if he had a great revelation he opened his mouth and exclaimed; ‘Ooooooohhhhhhhhh, it’s art!’
This seemed to satisfy the other boys and they immediately trod onward without saying goodbye.”
