At the end of 2018 I started creating small artworks no bigger than 30x30cm. This is more or less the result of tidying my atelier. I was about to move to a new workspace and was re-considering every item. Throughout time I collected, amongst other things, many inspirational materials, leftover canvasses and wood. I decided to process these leftovers into something new. This is how the first circular artworks emerged. I called them verbal’s because each artwork was a small verbal statement of found characters. These characters originated from plastic bags, magazines, newspapers and wrappings referring to all kinds of contemporary issues, words with a certain load or iconic statements coming from popular culture.
Next to this I found all kinds of strange but graphically interesting plastic objects on the streets. With many of these objects it was difficult or not possible to determine its origin or function. These objects also turned up in my artworks by the name U.F.O., which means in this particular context: Unidentified Found Object.
The support for the characters (verbal’s) and objects (UFO’s) are scraps of canvas, plastic bags, used t-shirts, shower curtains and much more leftover materials. The supporting frame itself is also made of residual wooden slats. So, the artworks are entirely circular. Actual remains of a day, therefore the entire installation is called ‘Remains Of Today’.
Each artwork goes with a reflective story, a lightweight philosophical contemplation. By this contemplation I migrate it to current affairs, dilemmas and observations at present. Sometimes the approach is light footed and absurdist alternated with critical remarks. The found objects, because of their origin, also have an alternative story, the story of the ‘consumer society’. During the short hikes I made, and still make, I gradually discovered these small indefinable pieces of plastic next to the usual litter like tin cans and plastic bags. By placing these typical pieces of plastic on an artistic pedestal, it reflects our daily apparently trivial but harmful actions.
Due to social media and Internet images are always and everywhere. Its communicating power is Immense. We are continuously affected, manipulated and directed in ways we cannot even imagine. My multi-panelled artwork appeals to that conspicuous feeling. It sends all kinds of signals to the viewer but the viewer is not sure of what kind of message it got. At the same time all these artworks emerged from pure coincidence and only gained secondly it’s meaning based on what was found and collected and a hunch of the artist.
Spin Off projects Remains Of Today. Audio Experience A series of musical compositions is made by musician and composer A.R.T. (Ali Reza Tahoeni) inspired by the visual art installation ‘Remains Of Today’.

3. Postmodernisme
• Postmodernisme is een stroming
in de filosofie en de kunst die gezien
wordt als een reactie op, of de
logische voortzetting van, het
modernisme.
5. Postmodernisme
Postmodernisten spelen een spel met
citaten uit ‘hoge’ en ‘lage’ cultuur, die ze
met elkaar laten botsen.
Gespeeld wordt ook met verschillende
stijl(element)en uit verschillende
historische perioden. Daardoor wordt de
kenbaarheid van de wereld eens te meer
op de helling gezet.
13. Postmodernisme
Modernisten:
• Kennis en wetenschap
• Stijlcitaten (uit hoge en lage kunst)
• Manifesten met strakke regels
• De drang om nieuwe of vernieuwende
kunst te maken.
14. Postmodernisme
Er is sinds de jaren zestig geen
sprake meer van een
overheersende stroming.
Eerder is er sprake van
versplintering en
individualisering.
15. Postmodernisme
Daarbij wordt veel teruggegrepen
naar het verleden. Er is sprake van
herinterpretatie en ‘sampling’.
Moderne media spelen daarin een
belangrijke rol en de kunstenaar
positioneert zichzelf, in navolging
van b.v. Dalí, steeds meer als een
‘ster’.
18. Postmodernisme
Kunst en kitsch zijn begrippen die
steeds meer van hun waarde
verliezen. We noemen dit post-
modernisme.
Jeff Koons is daarvan een
uitgesproken voorbeeld.
39. Rob Scholte
Rob Scholte is hét voorbeeld van de
postmodernistische kunstenaar.
In 1994 wordt er een aanslag op hem
gepleegd.
40. Rob Scholte
Rob Scholte is hét voorbeeld van de
postmodernistische kunstenaar.
In 1994 wordt er een aanslag op hem
gepleegd.
Er volgt een politieonderzoek, maar
uiteindelijk is het niet bekend wie de
dader is en waarom de aanslag is
gepleegd.
