Bas Zoontjens
Bas Zoontjens is a voyager in paint. His paintings (not apparent to the viewer) are an enduring dialogue with the canvas onto which he projects questions as well as answers. Impressive in size and scope, they mostly consist of explorations of fantastical, supernatural landscapes. Answers develop from a necessity to strike a balance between rough, […]

I intend to make paintings that are autarchic, self-evident and independent of interpretation. I set up a method to turn the painting into a set of facts. This objectivity claim links up with the tradition of Minimal Art and Fundamental Painting – a tradition bristled with axioms: square = neutral, grey = neutral, neutral = […]
Sam Smith
Sam Smith works across sculptural construction and moving image to create a visual language that speaks to both the history of cinema and its possible future forms. By intersecting the formal and conceptual frameworks that have previously separated these artistic disciplines, Smith asks us to rethink sculpture as montage, cinematic editing as object construction, and technical image apparatus […]

I promised myself as a child, never to forget what it felt like to be a child – to dream and invest in the imaginary, the fantastic, the impossible. My work is about trying to keep that promise. Grand projects are dreamt up and an attempt to realise these visions undertaken; using whatever comes to hand, […]

At the beginning of creation stands free form, but already, one has to apply certain restrictions. The organic, mostly plant-like motifs refer to cultivated nature. Similarly to cell division they come into life through multiple replication: with a mirror, the artist projects numerous fragments next and on top of each other, giving rise to fragmented […]

As a child I never understood immigration, race, or even poverty, which were things that my family was constantly in contact with. My work today is an investigation on the concept of culture. What are the things that define us within society? Nationality, skin color, how we dress, political affiliations, our personalities and attitudes in […]
Marike Schuurman
Marike Schuurman’s photos are evidence of her marked sense of form; they are clearly structured. At the same time, they trigger many questions. They usually suggest a story, but the details of this remain unclear. The tension in her works arises from this breach between clear form and open content. It seems that several perspectives […]

Shifting to and fro between functionality and abstraction, my work deals with various “actions and processes” ― natural dynamics, human behavior patterns toward materials, and physical phenomena occurring within the medium, the form, and the work itself. Sculptural structures of my work first evoke the viewer’s recollection, because they seemingly resemble chairs or tables, or […]
Carla Zaccagnini
It’s not easy to define a common ground to my artistic practice. There are some recurrent subjects, even some obsessions that permeate my research. But the matters I am interested in can be detected in different contexts and assume different forms. My practice is thus characterized by a flexible usage of medias and strategies that […]

My current interest is in what might be termed execution error, though error carries a misleadingly pejorative connotation. When a code or a plan is executed, the result contains a fullness of details much denser than that which was planned. My work consists in bringing attention to these unintended attributes by organizing systems that allow […]
