HENK STALLINGA – LEVITY
2016-02-22Stallinga is both a visual artist and a designer. Although he does not consider his product designs to be fine arts parts thereof are often transformed into conceptual multimedia installations and sculptures. A minimalistic visual language, light, sound and movement are recurring elements in them. The exhibition consists of the light installation Lumen Balance, the series Breathe In Breathe Out, wherein paintings are combined with lamps, and the installation A Couch to Match the Painting.
The concepts behind Stallinga’s works are often based on our awareness of the everyday world around us. This involves concepts like sense of time, sonorous and visual perception and experience of energy in the form of light, heat or movement. The observer is often left surprised or even optically deceived by Stallinga’s works in which everyday phenomena are presented in a different context.
