Rotation

625.00

A row of chairs that always show a different position of the chair and thus form a frozen animation. A film strip without frames.

Portrait 3

90.00

The 3rd portrait of a chair through the backrest. This one is from the first series of nine from 2012. After that it was ‘quiet’ in this area until in 2017 again nine new ones appeared. Followed by another twelve in 2018 and finally three more in 2019. I usually present them grouped in a larger number or also as smaller accents among other pencil drawings. See Portrait 14, 34 en 43.

 

Tower of Babel III

After having built two earlier towers (Tower of Babel and Tower of Babel II) with all identical chairs (which makes stacking a bit easier), one with all different chairs could not be avoided. It will be the moment just before the confusion of tongues kicks in and messes up the building process.
Parts of this construction I later reproduced in Babel interior II en Babel II.

portrait 2

90.00

The 2nd portrait of a chair through the backrest. This one is from the first series of nine from 2012. After that it was ‘quiet’ in this area until in 2017 another nine new ones appeared. Followed by another twelve in 2018 and most recently three in 2019. I usually present them grouped in a larger number or also as smaller accents among other pencil drawings. See Portrait Portret 14, 34 and 43.

Portrait 4

The 4th portrait of a chair by the backrest. This one is from the first series of nine from 2011. After that it was ‘quiet’ in this area until in 2017 again nine new ones appeared. Followed by another twelve in 2018 and finally another three in 2019. I usually show them grouped or also as small accents between other pencil drawings. Portrait 14, 34 and 43.

The long march III

“We see a kind of section from a massive and all but endless row of swaying and wobbling chairs. The reference to the founder of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1920s, Mao Tse-Tung, is evident. Nevertheless such a title also allows thoughts about other large-scale migrations of living creatures. Think of the wildebeest in the African plains, or flows of refugees, escaping from whatever atrocities.” (from Chairs and Titles by Chris Manders in All in the Family, 2016)

Duet I

Actually, I literally found these schoolchairs on a sunny day somewhere in a gallery. So in my oeuvre this is actually a bit of an outsider because ‘only’ directly more or less made from observation. See also other duets such as Duet II and Duet III and certainly also the Pas de Deux series.
