Frans Beerens: Material Photographs

After his applauded solo exhibitions in Huis Marseille in 2014 and in Museum De Pont in 2015, he will show his series ‘Material Photographs’ at Fontana Gallery.

Beerens’ oeuvre is very expansive and consists of sculpture, installation and film. During his development in photography he began experimenting with adding texture in his works. In collaboration with the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, he found a way to weave his images in different tones of grey. His fabrics show depth and materiality he found regular photography was lacking. This way, his images approach the tactility of what is photographed.
