Tijs Rooijakkers
Visual artist Tijs Rooijakkers is a master of sculptural expression, crafting large-scale sculptures that defy conventional boundaries and appear as though they are sketching the very essence of space itself. His creations possess a fluid and organic quality, serving as a visual testament to the latent potential within a given environment - the uncharted possibilities that have always existed or are waiting to be unearthed.
Rooijakkers' art is a testament to his profound fascination with the processes that underpin existence, the delicate dance of emergence and transformation. He is captivated by that ephemeral, almost magical instant when something transitions from nothingness to existence, from 0 to 1. In his work, time itself becomes fluid, and he deftly intertwines opposing forces - the past and the future, stillness and movement, adventure and security.
Within his spatial stills, Rooijakkers masterfully navigates these juxtapositions, giving rise to a multi-dimensional universe that invites viewers to explore the interplay of forces and the dynamic tension between opposing elements. His work serves as a visual journey through the ever-evolving, ever-fascinating world of form and function.
Through his art, Rooijakkers transforms the act of staring into his creations into a profound contemplation of life, consciousness, and the very essence of being. His sculptures, akin to a slamdunk in the realm of visual arts, not only capture the soul of a place but also engage viewers in an interactive dialogue, encouraging them to embrace the emptiness and inquire, "What's up, doc?" as they navigate the depths of
his art.
