Studio visit May Oostvogels, Jozef Van Bouwel

In the work of May Oostvogels you always feel a meditative peace. She believes that the material itself has a kind of memory and tries to bring this to life in her work. Her style is simple and pure, and the process of creating is a teacher in itself for her. May lets the material speak for itself and focuses on the essence. Whether she uses a pencil, paintbrush, or drill, every gesture is important. Sometimes a work arises spontaneously, sometimes precisely from a careful plan. In those planned works, logic and precision play a greater role, but always with great attention to the material. In the previous season, we visited her husband Jaak Hillen. You can expect a tour of her studio with a cup of coffee or tea.
