Cut Paintings

Inside the Vishal, we see black aluminium creations by the artist Martijn Sandberg. Texts are concealed in the objects that you only see when you walk past them, or as soon as you take a photograph of them. ‘Sorry No Image Yet’ is the funniest.

Binnen in de Vishal zien we zwart aluminium creaties van kunstenaar Martijn Sandberg. In de objecten gaan teksten schuil, die je pas ziet wanneer je erlangs bent gelopen, of zodra je er een foto van maakt. ‘Sorry No Image Yet’ is de grappigste.

”What would my cut paintings have looked like, hanging on a wall in an antique setting with pillars, hundreds of years ago?” MS

“Hoe zouden mijn cut paintings eruitzien, hangend aan de wand in een antieke setting met zuilen, honderden jaren geleden?” MS
