Maarten Peerdeman 'In my work I am in search of friction, displaying glorification and disgust next to one another, letting them coexist. I try to expose the shady sides of our existence: the ones we perceive on a daily basis through the media, but also the ones we encounter on the street. To me, art has the ability to make people think - I am just an observer of my surroundings and ‘translate’ the viewed into a work of art; it is up to the viewers to determine their own position.' // zie ook // www.maartenpeerdeman.nl |
