Jasper van der Graaf (Kunstenlab, Deventer NL, 2008)

Motivation principale de Van der Graaf est de donner au spectateur un sentiment d'émerveillement, comme le travail découle de sa propre s'interroger sur la complexité. Les travaux de Van der Graaf sont montré par les initiatives de l'artiste, dans des espaces d'art et des musées aux Pays-Bas et à l'étranger.

Jasper van der Graaf (Dordrecht, NL, 1975) makes paintings and wall paintings. He uses source material in a proces of digital collage and begins with no preconceived idea of the final result. The designs take shape, crystallize, through a proces of personal or internal logic.

When the design is finished, the work is executed as a wall painting or painting on canvas.  Each work develops within its own parameters (spacial context, working method, chance and artistic choice). Van der Graaf’s main motivation is to give the spectator a sense of wonder, as the work arises from his own wondering about complexity. Van der Graaf’s work is shown in artist’s initiatives, art spaces and musea in the Netherlands and abroad.

Andy at work

My work is about painting. My work is about color. 
My work is about space, the grid, line, mass, and shape. 
My work is also about speed in working or the residue of the act of working in a speedy fashion. 

My work is about composition. 
My work is about these things as content in the context of making art. 
My work lately has also been concerned with the ability to travel by post.
