Olivia van Kuiken: Bastard Rhyme confronts stasis through dynamic canvases inspired by Futurism, Baroque drama, and geometric abstraction. Figures are fragmented, multiplied, and reconfigured into charged forms that question stability and meaning. Eight upright paintings extend into the gallery, merging architecture, body, and image. With confrontational energy, van Kuiken distorts painterly conventions, creating an experiential and dialectical field of motion.
