Ricardo van Eyk’s work often looks like an accidental meeting of images. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Couples Retreat is made up of two panels: an open window with cigarette butts to the left, and four white boards and connecting screws to the right. Every aspect has been planned down to the millimetre. The title of the work, along with its imagery, hints at a couple staying in the room for a long time, completely removed from society.
