Amsterdam-based artist and sculptor Marien Schouten (b. 1956) has developed a body of work that challenges the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and architecture. At the heart of his practice lies a desire to transport painting into the real space of the viewer, without ceding its illusionistic and expressive potential. Volatile relationships between figure and ground emerge. Featuring 300 illustrations and several essays, this comprehensive monograph traces Schouten’s evolution from the 1980s until today. It offers a unique encounter with the artist, who oversaw the entire creative process, from the composition and structure of the texts to the graphic design and layout of the book.
