Catalogue Note
Over the past twenty years, Berend Strik has worked in different disciplines, ranging from sculpture and architecture to two-dimensional works. However, he is perhaps best known for the embroidered works he started making in the late 1980s. He bases this work on photographs from a family archive, books, magazines, or on images he encountered during his travels. He proceeds to stitch over these images, adding patches of fabric. Sometimes the photo is used in its entirety; sometimes images are combined as in a collage, integrated by the embroidery. The reproducibility of the photograph is reduced by the delicate stitching, transforming it to a more autonomous form. Strik alters the narrative, plays with historic atmospheres and art history clichés and uses autobiographical elements to express something he feels universal.
Swimmingpool Franschhoek is an image from photographs the artist has taken on his travels through Africa, documenting the people, architecture and post-colonial landscapes of the continent.
Berend Strik is a former advisor at the Rijksakademie, and was resident artist in 1986-1988. He won the 2nd prize of the 1987 Prix de Rome (NL), the Charlotte Köhler Prize (NL) in 1990 and the Dorothea von Stetten-Kunstpreis (DE) in 1993.
