These are difficult and uncertain times for everyo

These are difficult and uncertain times for everyone, both personal and business wise. Many (cultural) entrepreneurs are affected, are out of work and have to close their club / restaurant, bar etc. Despite this I still want to post about a work I made for the recently opened club @wibar_leiden .
.
WiBAR is a new club/ cultural hotspot in Leiden. It is a raw industrial warehouse that has been transformed into a club with a decor of stacked sea containers.
.
In collaboration with WiBAR / Doorgedraaid, I made a artwork for 5 sea containers. The works refer to stained glass and have a contemporary look with hints of nightlife.
.
The artworks are translucent panels of 2 mtr x 2 mtr that are mounted in the containers with adjustable LED light behind them. A real eye-catcher for the club!
.
Better pictures will follow if everything is back to ‘normal’!

It’s a crazy world right now and we have to be a little bit patience. But it give you possibilities to enjoy art from your home, and possibly even buy some nice pieces while you're at home now 😉 ⏳

LOOK NO FURTHER! 💡

I stumbled on the photo while searching for something on my hard drive. It's taken by @rozaschous at @bigartnl 2018 at the Bijlmer Bajes in Amsterdam. I really like the reflections on this photo!

PREVIEW👀 Lately I’ve been experimenting with some leftover materials to make a start with a new artwork. It’s will be more abstract and raw than my previous work. It still needs some time and exploration. To be continued...

The eye-catcher of the restaurant is a big multi layered artwork (wall relief) of wood and gold plexiglass. It contains references to captivity and prison but also the underlying story of the inmates on a positive way and with a healthy dosis of humour. The World Is Yours! 📷 by @rozaschous .

@enterthemothership approached Studio Ruwedata to make the complete identity/ artwork and interior for this exceptional restaurant concept. Rebelz is a social enterprise and that is reflected in the second chance that is given to everything. Ex-inmates work in the kitchen/ service and are trained as cooks or hostesses. At Rebelz you experience the light and dark side that our lives sometimes have. You can see it in the colors, visual language, the urban feel and you can taste it in the dishes that all have their origin on the street.

The eye-catcher of the restaurant is a big multi layered artwork (wall relief) of wood and gold plexiglass. It contains references to captivity and prison but also the underlying story of the inmates on a positive way and with a healthy dosis of humour. The World Is Yours!. The visual concept is translated to all branding items, such as website, menu, signing etc.

For this big project I collaborated with Li Interior Design and contractor Spalink to make the overall concept a succes!

Some detail shots of my work I created for @cafede

Some detail shots of my work I created for @cafedebruinepij, commissioned by @blindwallsgallery.
.
The design is based on various stories about the pub and the Grote Kerk (church), Breda.
.
I have been inspired by stories from café “De Pij” and the opposite church, “Onze-Lieve-Vrouwenkerk”, better known as the Grote Kerk (Breda, NL). Every object in the work tells its own story. ⛪️
.
Various images refer to the biker and blues past of café De Bruine Pij, but the work also tells you why you can grab free peanuts in the pub for example. The Grote Kerk is also well represented. There are stories to discover about, for example, a bleeding wafer and a mummified cat. 🥜
