Galerie Ron Mandos is thrilled to participate in the third edition of Art Island, taking place at the special location Forteiland. This year, the gallery proudly presents a selection of sculptures and collages by Boris Tellegen. In the bunkers of the island, Tellegen will fuse the historical and the contemporary.
For Art Island 2024, Tellegen presents sculptures and collages. Tellegen’s collages can be read as isometric landscapes. With playful ease, Tellegen changes shapes, perspective, and scale by stacking and cutting. Pieces of paper are torn, glued, and then crumpled again. They seem to multiply uncontrollably, forming a kind of savage cityscape. His fascination with the architecture of skyscrapers, Japanese robots, and tribal art forms translates to sculptures. He makes toy-like figures into life-size monuments, exploring the balance between intention and chance; order and chaos.
