Broken
Canvas

In art history, the theme "the end of painting" is abundantly investigated by many artists and in many ways. Also "the end of the visual arts" is thoroughly studied and it is up till today a non-the-obvious topic for many artists, philosophers and art critics.

With ‘A0 Paper’,'Broken Canvas', ‘Make it yourself: Canvas’ and ‘A4 Paper’, Kim De Ruysscher wants the viewer to fill in the artistic content by himself. It is up to the viewer to judge whether it concerns a canvas, a sculpture or an unrealized art object in its packaging form. The future vision of the art is key to this work.

‘A0 Paper’: Winner of the van Ommeren-De Voogt Prize 2010.
