Expositie Beelden & Reliëfs van Ben Oldenhof

An exploration of materials and colors

Ben Oldenhof's reliefs are an exploration of materials and colors as the core of the artwork, presented in two dimensions. He intuitively processes mesh and synthetic fiber grids with lacquers and pigments and is surprised by what is created under his hands.

The carrier, the material and the added color nuances ultimately determine the work of art, in which chance also plays a role. Even though Oldenhof has increasingly mastered the chance factor and takes targeted actions, part of the result remains dependent on chance.

Ben Oldenhof has a long, successful career as a ceramicist and sculptor, mainly focusing on metal sculptures and assemblages. His works are included in various museum collections and private collections. For more information, visit the SBK website .
