Guus Koenraads, Paul Corvers, Eric Lugtigheid en Marcel Prins
Between Spaces
The work of Paul Corvers (1953) is situated at the intersection of painting and sculpture. He composes serene, abstract works in which planes, color, volumes, and spaces meet and are carefully brought into balance. His oeuvre evolved from more expressive work to smaller, serene, abstracted compositions in which color planes, material, and space come into equilibrium. In his recent work, he seeks a composed silence and the quality of the minimal, in which forms refer only to themselves; restrained and contemplative.
The paintings by Guus Koenraads (1949) are actually objects. The color planes extend onto the sides of the canvas. This makes them even more architectural and spatial. The works play a game with our perception. Color planes recede or, conversely, move towards you. While the balance of bands and planes, of horizontals and verticals, offers tranquility, the works are equally dynamic, without the intervention of a diagonal. The color planes are serene in themselves, yet interactive together. They bring tranquility and variation into balance.
Marcel Prins (1958) creates sculptures derived from found forms and materials, which he brings together in unexpected combinations. Using wood, metal, stone, or everyday objects, he constructs spatial structures that are both playful and layered. His work challenges the viewer to look slowly. Elements of his work rub against each other, shift in meaning, and thereby evoke new associations time and again. The result is sculptures that unfold a surprising logic, activating both the image and the viewer, allowing them to move along with it.
Eric Lugtigheid (1959) is a versatile artist who explores abstraction in painting, spatial work, and digital media. Central to his work is the 'stadium form': the long circle or rounded rectangle. This powerful foundation serves as the starting point for constant experimentation with color and technique. By combining analog and digital techniques, he creates a distinctive visual language that continues to evolve. His work is a quest for renewal, in which simple forms transform.
into unique, recognizable compositions. An ambitious exploration of artistic boundaries.
