Esther Tielemans : ask the sky

The spatial paintings of Esther Tielemans (Helmond, 1976) are poised between paintings on the wall and objects in the space. With the experience of the landscape as her point of departure, she examines the extent to which abstract concepts such as form, colour and proportion can determine and influence the experience of space.
In Ask the Sky, Tielemans seeks ways in which to bring the surrounding landscape, the space and light into the museum. In the transit area that is the former entrance to the museum, she plays with the transition from the world outside the museum to the world of art in the collection within the walls of the Kröller-Müller Museum.
