Exhibition Untitled TZT085 duo exhibition
Monika Buch & Tije Domburg

March 22 – April 7

Monika Buch

Monika Buch (Spain 1936) was born in Valencia, where she also grew up. That phase of life still plays an important role in her work. The light, the colors and the sea. But the mosaics, tiles and other remains from the Arab period have also partly determined her aesthetic preferences. Monika Buch studied in Ulm Germany at the famous Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG Ulm), where she also met her later husband Bertus Mulder from the Netherlands, who studied architecture there. Max Bill was the rector at that time. Monika Buch's paintings and objects are characterized by the investigation of form and color and their relationship to each other, the systematic application of color series in geometric structures and the exploration of the boundaries of perception.

Tije Domburg

Tije Domburg (NL 1947) has been making art all his life, always looking for new forms, new worlds, new total images. By continually building, grouping and arranging large quantities of simple – often the same – parts, elements, building blocks. These can be ceramic tubes that only differ in length, or strips of paper that have been twisted more or less often, but they can also be the numbers 0 to 9 or, as has been the case for a number of years, 4 symbol letters of the DNA . Tije Domburg makes geometric-abstract art and for him that style is increasingly less an end goal in itself, but more and more a means to tell a story.
