Erik de Bree (1977, Haarlem) lives and works in Haarlem, The Netherlands.
Playfulness
is key in all of de Bree's works. Cheerful colours and unforeseen lines
reflect childlike nonsensical purity. The process of creation is
an essential part of the final visual result, in the sense that you
can still see the buildup of layers and imagine movements of the
ripping off. Opposed to structured and calculated proportions, the odds decide the outcome. Creating a circumstance where coincidences play a crucial role is a consistent factor in the work of De Bree. They are
celebrations of the unpredictability that is life. After a long-term fascination with wallpaper, he shifted his focus to wood and wooden puzzles.
