ABOUT: Frank Bruggeman (Noordoostpolder, 1966) lives and works in
Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Frank Bruggeman is a graduate of Academy of Arts, Arnhem and
National Highschool of Horticulture, Nijmegen. Since 2002 he has had numerous solo
and group exhibitions including
Boijmans van Beuningen (Rotterdam), Salone Internationale di
Mobile(Milan) and Museum
of Modern Art (Arnhem). His works are part of the permanent
collection of Boijmans van
Beuningen (Rotterdam). Frank Bruggeman's work evinces a great fascination with
nature, and especially with plant materials, which result in installations, so-called
flowerpieces and plantscapes and designs for interiors and the public realm. The main topic in his
work is floral nature. The outcome is positioned in the field of art and design, questioning both
areas. Bruggemans loose and playful compositions are however more than just decorative. The
result is a balance between a natural
and artificial approach which mostly depends on the given
context. His body of work contains
installations, objects, photography and design for public
space. Nature always refers to itself
as a local or exotic botanical element. As a mental contrast
he uses industrial artefacts which
are coated with a special highly unnatural blue colour. (photocredits: Mimi Berlin)
