Wood Sculpture

Ron van der Ende is a sculptor living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He specializes in wall mounted bas-reliefs constructed from found wood. The defining characteristic of a bas-relief is that it is not free standing. Bas-relief is also referred to as “low relief,” meaning that the objects do not project very far from the background. 

The original color and texture of the recycled wood van der Ende uses forms a realistic mosaic and is enhanced by the perspective built into the relief. Van der Ende uses his method to conjure up space age imagery, modern technology, and more recently, still life (such as pieces of beef).




Burn brightly, Pete
