2014 | ink, gouache and acrylic on paper | 180 × 135 cm

Like the backdrop to a moment in someone’s life, this room full of chairs, boxes and personal possessions seems to have a story to tell.

However, that’s not necessarily what Arjan van Helmond had in mind with this work. Depicting the unspectacular and even clichéd aspects of our day-to-day existence with evocative, realistic detail, all Van Helmond really wants is to help us think about and analyse the things and places around us.
