About
Aldo van den Broek (1985) collects memories that show us how we interact with each other. Life is a collection of memories, which are reflected in his paintings, sculptures and reliefs made of mainly used materials. He uses objects found on the street such as cardboard, iron and wood. Van den Broek shows the beautiful and dark moods of the present time. He draws on personal experiences gained from his stays in Berlin, Tbilisi, New York, Tokyo and Siberia and on historical references. His work is raw and process-oriented and shows universal emotions such as fear, love and joy. They are layered collages of how life goes. Who do we spend our time with?
