GABO: Portrait of a Sculpture focuses on one artwork: Gabo’s sculpture for department store De Bijenkorf on the Coolsingel in Rotterdam.

Simone Albers (1990, NL)is gefascineerd door de kosmos. Zij onderzoekt de mechanismen die verborgen liggen achter de direct waarneembare wereld.

Sculpture as a specific medium is rarely investigated within a deeply cultural, philosophical context, nor within visual art itself. Whilst discussions about installation art, performance art, or other 3D art forms are widespread, the discourse on sculpture seems to be stuck in historical, material, or thematic frameworks. This is a loss for our understanding of art in general, and of sculpture in particular. In order to assess contemporary art practices, one should have a better understandin...

In hundred portraits drawn on ephemera Kosters shows, in a poetic manner, man in all their strength.

Hier vindt u verschillende houtskool tekeningen uit de afgelopen periode van Bram Pietersen. De tekeningen zijn gemaakt van slechts alleen houtskool, alleen op verschillende manieren gebruikt. Door het verschillend te gebruiken kun je zien dat er op een andere manier omgegaan kan worden met houtskool. Je kan bijvoorbeeld heel hard krijten en heel zacht. Je kan vegen of slechts alleen tekenen met lijnen. Je kan heel donker en licht werken, en het uitvegen op een andere manier. Op die manier on...

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) en Emil Nolde (1867–1956) zijn belangrijke vertegenwoordigers van het Duitse expressionisme. Hun werk staat bekend om de knallende kleuren en spontane penseelstreken en motieven.

Kirchner en Nolde keerden de Europese samenleving en de normen van de burgerlijke cultuur de rug toe en zochten inspiratie bij mensen, levenswijzen en objecten uit andere delen van de wereld, voornamelijk Afrika en Oceanië. Hun werken worden bekeken tegen de achtergrond van de h...
