Story by Artist (Victor) :

you see an iconic image of a water bottle which is scaled up to emphasise the weight it carries in this image, also because of using iconic images of objects I am able to choose different colours without loosing the recognisably of them which results in a sort of surreal environment, you wonder what universe this is from. The water bottle itself is shown as almost a living, breathing machine that serves different functions but yet needs action and resources to be able to serve its purpose. It shows that water is not only simply up for grabs. The glass dome gives the object, which normally is seen as something that is not scarce, something precious, like it sits in a museum or a lab. it is to be protected from harm because it is not that common for everyone.

Artiest

My name is Victor de Groot. I’m 22 year old, living in Amsterdam and soon to graduate at the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague. My interests lay in both art and design, but illustraJons and drawings is where everything starts. I would describe myself as an interdisciplinary artist / designer. I am interested in using mutimedia to make work in the whole spectrum. In my work I usually try to push boundaries, challenge taboos, give my opinion or a combination of these. I think it is important that art and design are not only made or seen as “pretty”. However, I do try to use aesthetics to make these comments digestable for the viewer.
