RON VAN DER ENDE
EDGE OF SPACE will exhibit the ingenius sculptural works of Ron van der Ende (1965, Rotterdam). Van der Ende specialises in wall-mounted bas-reliefs that he constructs from salvage wood. He utilises the original colour and texture of the wood to create a realistic mosaic representation of a chosen subject. The artist adds perspective to his reliefs to enhace the depth and realism in the work. EDGE OF SPACE is the term for the border of the earth’s atmosphere, the end of our world and the beginning of space 

BAS LOUTER

Using charcoal, pastels and ink Bas Louter (1972, Alkmaar) creates portraits in which the face or parts of it are substituted by abstract geometric patterns. The images that Louter uses for these works originate from the entertainment industry; headshots of actors and pop artists. This intervention into these portraits creates a disorientating and empty character.
