<a href="http://www.leopoldvandeven.nl/">Leopold van de Ven</a> wrote to me one late afternoon: "I make architectural wall sculptures in response to the white cube space." Later that evening, I began to write to Leopold a letter, and simply stated "Perfect, I'd like to move in some(time)." <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6227/6218193619_f634dc1354_b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6227/6218193619_f634dc1354_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 699px; height: 473px;" /></a> <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6053/6218193449_0a0c4dec0a_b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6053/6218193449_0a0c4dec0a_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 701px; height: 469px;" /></a> <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6153/6218193545_4b6e92f8a0_b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"> </a>"Leopold looks for forms that brace themselves and as such constitute the visibility of space. In his work he intends to make a stand against space." "In my drawings, objects and collages I constantly search for a sensory confrontation, I look for forms that brace themselves and as such constitute the visibility of space. In my work I intend to make a stand against space. My work is based on the concept of space; to show space and rediscover it, sometimes even in two dimensional form, but always with the same idea in mind. This is how I see it: two qualities of a drawing are representation and the imagination of depth. An object has a three-dimensional, physical presence and can therefore be an inconvenience. It is tangible, has substance and can hence constitute a drama/tell a story. My wall sculptures I describe as 'two-dimensional sculptures': a combination of the qualities of a drawing and those of a three-dimensional object. In this way I try to give the two-dimensional sculptures imaginary depth, without it becoming an image-like drawing. I call it 'abstract surrealism'. The actual presence as a tangible object forms the three-dimensional element which enhances expression in the piece of art." <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6153/6218193545_4b6e92f8a0_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6153/6218193545_4b6e92f8a0_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 699px; height: 468px;" /></a> thank you Leopold..... <a href="http://www.leopoldvandeven.nl/">Leopold van de Ven </a>portfolio here.. -----------------

... ‘I go for architecture that overlays and enhances. By blending observation and wit with reason, I want my work to generate a sense of the unexpected, and the seemingly spontaneous.’ - Nigel Coates <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6103/6217680648_b8aab3fffd_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6103/6217680648_b8aab3fffd_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 699px; height: 469px;" /></a> Nigel Coates at <a href="http://www.padlondon.net/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=20">Pavilion of Art and Design London</a>: October 12th - 16th "Nigel Coates has designed and built interiors, exhibitions and buildings around the world. His buildings in Japan include the Wall, Noa’s Ark and the Art Silo, and in Britain, the National Centre for Popular Music, Powerhouse::uk and the Geffrye Museum. Throughout his career as a practitioner, he has pursued experimental work that has been shown in an art and design context, including such exhibits as ArkAlbion shown at the Architectural Association in 1984, Ecstacity at the same venue, and Mixtacity at Tate Modern in 2007." "This year, <a href="http://www.cristinagrajalesinc.com/">Cristina Grajales Gallery</a> will be featuring Nigel Coates' Domo Collection, produced in collaboration with famed Italian company Poltronova. This collection of furniture highlights Nigel's continued interest in the mixing of materials, the interaction of the human body with design, and the elaboration of traditional design elements into a contemporary context. The Domo collection is distinguished by its elegant and curving lines emphasized by the capriole leg. Here, Nigel reinterprets this design element, transforming this collection into contemporary sculpture."<a href="http://www.cristinagrajalesinc.com/artists/nigel-coates" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> text taken from here...</a> Cristina Grajales, Inc 10 Greene Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10013 -----------------------------
