What characterizes Anneke Klein Kranenbarg's work is the primordial role he attributes to the gaze. Looking is such an elementary act that our visual perception of the world seems self-evident to us, so much so that we are no longer conscious of it.
It is this apparent obviousness that Anneke Klein Kranenbarg seeks to break in her work. Through her compositions, she studies basic shapes such as the square and the rectangle, the elements of which she dismantles to obtain a new construction, new shapes. To do this, she uses black or red thread, transparent plexiglass plates and tracing paper. The wires are stretched over or under the plate which they perforate and join. For the spectator moving in front of the object, the perceived effect is a subtle sliding of the lines towards other configurations of two- or three-dimensional shapes.
Thus the artist brings together these apparent contrasts in a single work. And it is from this coherence between two- and three-dimensionality, simplicity and complexity, that a very particular visual tension results. Therein lies the fascination of Anneke Klein Kranenbarg, and her research aims to make this fusion of oppositions perceptible. The effect of light and shadow is often determining for the spatial emergence of forms.
