Mario ter Braak (1960)
Reflection
2005 | oil paint on canvas | 86 × 78 cm
Mario ter Braak says the objects in this painting can be divided into 'bodies', such as fruit and fish, and 'fiddly things', like this double sink.
In both cases, Ter Braak creates beauty through symmetry and shifting meaning, caused by the relationship between the objects and what people think they see and understand. This sink, for instance, has an intrinsic meaning, but its shiny surface is also full of reflections that change its own appearance.
