Biography
Eric Klein Velderman describes his work as mineralism. He transitions from print-based work to sculptural form depending on his artistic focus.
The artist explores materials and their properties employing traditional techniques. Whether mixing rabbit skin glue with clay bole or combining copper leaf with sulphates his practice investigates the chemical consequences of juxtaposing materials. His work uses architectural forms and the natural world as a starting point for development.
The artist employs geometry and repetition throughout his work. Circles are a prominent motif alongside linear flowing forms. In all his work there is a preoccupation with balance, rhythm and stillness which evokes a sense of calm in the viewer.
inspiration
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist who makes hand-made prints and sculptures.
I have a solid background as a professional artist, focusing on public artworks and interior design for new construction projects.
I enjoy combining craftsmanship, creativity and curiosity in every piece I create. This interest in how things are put together comes from my earlier art college training as a sculptor.
While my interests are quite varied, I’m currently especially interested in concepts around House, Field and Flow, and the combination of different, often found, materials. I’m a multi-disciplinary artist who creates hand-made prints and sculptures.
medium
I’m always exploring new materials and processes, and my work is driven by a passion for making, often sparked by the unexpected treasures I discover (yes, even in skips!). My unique approach turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.
