David Axelbank

David Axelbank Work from the Lozenge Series. “The idea of “Landscape” is dependent on the human viewpoint – it is a cultural and aesthetic construct versus the natural world. It could be argued that this moulding or shaping of space has as much to do with the framework for traditional landscape, as it has to […]

I wish to explore the complexity and ability of the medium to deliver […]

Martijn Henkriks

Martijn Hendriks Work from his oeuvre. There is a good interview here. “Martijn Hendriks’s videos, sculptures, and installations often involve seemingly unproductive gestures.
