Lily de Bont reinterprets the canvas by radically cutting the canvas. The loose threads and the monochrome painted surfaces become complex compositions. In it, she makes something intangible like gravity tangible. With the work ‘Extended limit’ that de Bont made especially for the large space of O68, she stretches painting into the third dimension by cutting, folding and breaking the canvas. Lily de Bont lives and works in Rotterdam. She graduated with honors from the Sint Joost Academy Den Bosch in 1989. She received the “Lucas Prize” and the “Jan Hoet Prize” and was nominated by Jan Hoet for the Documenta IX in 1990. De Bont exhibits worldwide with representation in the Netherlands, Germany, the United States and Taiwan. Her works are included in collections of companies and private individuals at home and abroad
