Artist
Germaine Kruip
B.1970, Dutch

Germaine Kruip has been engaged in creating art that blends time, space, and perception. Over the past two decades, her practice pursuits have delved into tension between visual arts and the stage through a blend of architectural, sculpting, and performance work. Drawing inspiration from Abstract Art and Minimalism, and inheriting a spiritual tradition, Kruip creates a tension between the materials’ physical form and its deeper, underlying meanings. Despite the simplicity of her forms, her work possesses a strong sense of beauty, which is achieved through the interplay of reflections, shadows, and the way light interacts with the pieces, both naturally and artificially With the use of light, motion, and geometric motifs, her work expands the possibilities of abstraction. By manipulating the object's surroundings, Kruip creates a powerful impact, turning the work into a stage and fostering a spiritual, meditative atmosphere that stimulates the viewer's perception. ...
