“In his studio in the woods of Appèlbergen, south of the city of Groningen, Volken de Vlas (Dokkum, 1975) creates mesmerizing works of art from small tiles cut from recycled covers of old children’s books. Each work contains up to several thousand small tiles, carefully arranged in colorful compositions, creating an enchanting, pointillist, almost paint-like impression.”
Covers of old children’s books are a wonderful base material with a palette of brilliant colours.
