André Kruysen (1967) is fascinated by modern architecture, but he simultaneously realises that the same architecture poses a threat to nature. The rationalism of Modernism with its 'Less is more' credo and strict regulations left little or no room for playfulness, the unexpected, the human dimension. Despite aesthetic their clean design, their vision of functionality and the rejection of superfluous details, ignored and neglected what was already there: the empty space. Just as the light of an empty spot in the forest accentuates the beauty of trees, Kruysen's sculptures show the power of emptiness and light in combination with designed material. Do not expect megalomaniac structures from him that seem to want to push nature away or reach to heaven. No, for Kruysen sculpture is an attempt to shape open space and to form a whole with it. By embracing the empty space in his art, his installations are all the more present, just as an open space makes the trees visible.
