Description

Margriet van Breevoort’s work enters a thin line between the exceptional and the impossible and makes the viewer experience an extraordinary world through the use of hyper-realistic sculpture techniques. In her work Van Breevoort tries to emphasize a network of contradictions which include the dialectic between man vs nature and the organic versus the technical.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants II: A Unique Dialogue Between Past and Present is a collaboration between artist-curator Louise te Poele, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Saatchi Gallery. The V&A has granted access to its historic collection of works by female creators, which has inspired a new body of work by contemporary artists.
