About the Item
Tubes II is a sculpture in cherry wood by the Dutch artist Wouter van der Vlugt.
This sculpture is made from wood, a material the artist favours for its naturalness, texture, smell and the way it feels to the touch. The sculptor uses only local woods and chooses them on the basis of their size, which is where the sculptural potential lies. The artist approaches this living material with great respect. He imposes his will on the material to sculpt it, but at the same time, the wood itself directs his work with its imperfections, shapes, knots, and blackened elements.
Wouter van der Vlugt’s sculptures explore the relationship between form, light and material through an interplay of solids and voids that give them a sense of movement. In his work, the elegant, organic forms of nature coexist with more geometric, almost architectural structures. The sculptor likes to dig deep into the material in an attempt to reveal its true essence, transforming a massive, imposing form into something light and airy.

Wouter van der Vlugt’s sculptures explore the relationship between form, light and material through an interplay of solids and voids that give them a sense of movement. In his work, the elegant, organic forms of nature coexist with more geometric, almost architectural structures. The sculptor’s work has been selected by leading events dedicated to excellence in craft and artistic creation: in 2017 and 2019 by Révélations, the international biennial of crafts and creation at the Grand Palais (Paris, France) and in 2022 for the Homo Faber exhibition at the Giorgio Cini Foundation (Venice, Italy). “I work a lot with emptiness, with the transparency of the pieces. I want to transform a solid block into something light, where light and shade can play, and where wood becomes movement.”

Abstract wood Sculpture: "Untitled"
By Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat
Located in New York, NY
The artistic collaboration of Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat has produced a thought-provoking body of sculptures, paintings, and constructions. Nature, childhood memories, and everyday archetypes take shape in unexpected combinations of materials. The works emerged as the tactile and visual senses channeled the ritualistic power and materiality of selected artifacts.
The resulting objects exist in a space between what they were originally and what they could become. A wheel, for example, is distorted as if seen through a prism. Their collaboration grew out of years of shaping materials into one-of-a-kind objects. Intuitively, the process of creating with their hands took an inward turn. Prism is a travelogue through memories and dreams, yielding abstract forms that capture moments of transformation.
Van Wifvat grew up with eight siblings and studied sculpture and environmental design in Minneapolis at MCAD. In 1979, he opened a storefront art gallery to promote the work of local artists. The space featured printed materials—art books, periodicals, fanzines, and postcard’s. Wifvat moved to New York in 1983 to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons. In 1987, he co-founded Van Gregory & Norton design studio, specializing in convex mirrors and curtain hardware...
