Bas van den Hurk

CURATOR'S NOTE

Bas Van Den Hurk combines and manipulates multiple spatial co-ordinates through different mediums in a given context. His practice circles around the ability of expressing an action which passes over to an object. Bas’ recent paintings, stretched of silk, are smeared and dabbed with a palette that pulls at ones eyes – with bright magentas, deep sandstones, and crystal blues. Motives are printed through them, a fragmented image of a costume from the Triadic Ballet designed by Oskar Schlemmer. These paintings are brought into play with pieces of fabric patch-worked and sewn into collaborative, handmade suits and dresses and sculptural structures that function as displays for elements referring to the painting process. These structures divide and create intimacy with the objects and paintings while also allowing one to move around and find new vantage points – providing additional layers.
