A number of years ago, Ton van Kints started to combine existing works into a vertical stack, called the 1+1 series. He regarded these works as unfinished chapters that were literally screwed together and given a cover of epoxy lacquer.
A most recent development was influenced by his experiences as a beekeeper. Swarm cells are placed at the bottom of the stacks. In such a cell, a new queen develops and can swarm with the bee population to establish a new colony. In the view of Van Kints, the works now have the possibility to swarm out and transform again. Galerie Ramakers is pleased to be the first to show this new series "1 + 1 meets bees" here in the gallery.
