\Artist: Cees van Rutten
Technique: Mixed media\Signature: Sticker op achterzijde
Unique piece. He studied graphic design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the Hague. His love for the clear rhythmic structure is clear to see; the plane, rhythmically divided, with a fascinating play of light and shadow, articulated in regular forms of stacked figures. Van Rutten loves the subtle contrasts between regularity and distortions, between tight and jagged, tough and fragile, between smooth and rough, cut and torn. The work is of a great simplicity. The art historian is tempted to search for movements where the objects might fit and will find colleagues as Jan Schoonhoven and Ad Dekkers, at movements as “Zero” or “Nul”. Movements that are characterised by a formal and distant impersonality, something you can't say of Van Rutten’s work. His interest in the disruption and distortion, the ripple in the regularity makes his work very personal and gives it a poetic dimension.
