Tableaux

Welcome to room Tableaux. Here, Thijs Sterk leaves the vast polder landscape behind to explore the silence surrounding the everyday. Simple objects, from a slender bottle and a weathered vase to a resting mandolin, transform under his hands into monumental compositions. Sterk's experience with glass art resonates powerfully in the dark, heavy contours that enclose the shapes. Warm earth tones and striking color accents allow the light to glide over the tables. The objects balance between recognition and abstraction, imbued with a poetic rhythm. Let your eye be guided along the layered structures and discover the remarkable tension hidden within this enclosed world.
