Artist Statement
Bart Nijboer (1990) develops sculptures and installations in which perception of the natural world plays a central role. His objects could be called a “constructive translation of nature”. Nijboer is fascinated by his experience of the world around him, in which he translates processes, materials and relationships into the images and installations he makes. The fragile cohesion from which forms can originate and acquire their own character is captured in the moving constructions. The works seem to slow down time and to remain in a constant process between growth and decay.
