AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An early work by Peter Donkersloot already clearly shows the core of his later visual language. In this period, Donkersloot experiments with rough materials, simple forms, and an almost childlike vocabular/visual language, in which figures and signs balance between abstraction and recognizability. The work appears direct and unpolished: traces of the making process remain visible and give the image a physical, almost tangible presence.
What stands out most is the freedom with which he handles composition and proportion. There is no striving for perfection, but for expressiveness. It is precisely that openness and playfulness that make the early work interesting:
