Tranformations

Wim Bosch calls himself a painter, even though he literary does not use the brush and paint anymore for quite some years already. Nowadays he paints with the computer, composes his own photographs into paintings.  His archive exists of thousands of photographs and with these he builds up his paintings, composes them. The result is a print on paper. With the setting of the numerous different parts, he creates a surreal world. Interiors which could be exterior as well. Ordinary domestic details like see-through windows from outside in, or is it the other way around? What is happening inside? The many layers confuse, the ordinary becomes unreal. It is difficult to catch what one likes to understand. 

The photoworks of  Marleen Sleeuwits are created because of her fascination for her surrounding, which she experiences as an enchanting scenery and where she searches for the tension between beauty and a feeling of oppression.
In the way she uses the existing artificial light, Sleeuwits recreates a new world by isolating her subjects from time and place.  In doing so, the perception of manipulation is strengthen.

In the speed of the daily impulsions of life, Pim Palsgraaf  develops his creative urge.
His ‘Multiscape’ sculptures are city scenes literally carried by preserved dead animals or other objects found along the side of the road. With this subject matter, Pim Palsgraaf shows us contradictions between culture and nature. The urban city is seen to overtake nature. One gets the feeling that urbanism is a process which grows like a tumor.
