Maarten Welbergen - Cut-outs

Galerie

You can say that a cut-out is a painting without a background. In this way the painting gets something sculptural like a Trompe l'oeil. It can be like a wall object or as well free-standing.The fascinating aspect of it is that it starts a 'dialogue' with the wall or space. While a 'normal' painting with a frame closes that of.
