The contemporary Dutch artist Riëtte Wanders ( → ) creates pieces that are monumental in their size and impact. She often binds herself to a single medium followed by her own set of rules about abstraction or lack of dimensionality. Executed in shades of blacks, whites, and greys, her rhythmic and full-of-movement work draws its inspiration from music.

This absence of color, which dominates the work of Riëtte Wanders, highlights other elements like texture, structure, and composition. But more than anything, Wanders’ work reveals its material presence.
