Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eijk at VIVID Gallery
through January 5 '11
Rotterdam
Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eijk present new work at VIVID in Rotterdam
For this exhibition Van Bleiswijk worked only with thick steel plates and a blowtorch to create the 'no screw no glue rough' edition. These industrial pieces provide a stark contrast to Kiki's delicate objects, from the series 'Floating Frames', crafted from brass wire with ceramic elements.
This limited edition series allowed Kiki to express her freedom of sketching in three dimensional objects. The final product, from twisting and linking the brass wire, creates an ephemeral elegant aesthetic that reflects Kiki's greater design method.
....The works of Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eik in this exhibition reinforce each other in a positive way. The tough strength of Joost, his heavy steel plates against the fragility of Kiki's airy and less systematic structures, give an additional tension to both artifacts.....
