wire wall murals by Bart Soutendijk

Company Description

I have been making Wire Wall Murals on a commission basis since 1972.A Wire Wall Mural is the final step in a simplification process that starts with a photograph or group of photographs. I make and remake the line drawing to emphasize only the essence of the subject.I ask, "What is it about this image that's unique." Then I strip away the lines that are not required to convey that "uniqueness." Finally, like the poet who reviews every word, I re-examine every turn and curve as I bend the image into a large line drawing in space. The final installation, a solid line in front of a moving shadow, has scale enough to suit a large space without dominating the room.
