Catalogue Essay
'I assemble the work to have control over the whole picture, because I want to re-create reality in a better way.'
Ruud van Empel
Ruud van Empel continues to explore themes of childhood and storytelling in his Theatre series (2010-13). Measuring three metres in length, the monumental scale of Theatre #7 transforms the space in which it is exhibited into a theatrical set. The blue colour spectrum evokes twilight and creates a scene that appears serene and eerie at the same time.
