Van Santen (1980) & Bolleurs (1977) are a conceptual artist couple. They are fascinated by the contemporary culture of social media, advertising and the pop cultural symbols that we are fed every day.
By taking everyday objects out of their context and juxtaposing them in new ways they redefine their symbolic value and create new meaning to the familiar.
They handbuild their meticulous set ups in minimalist graphic environments and execute their vision in both photography and video. Their weird and wonderful worlds invite you to let your mind wander for a moment and make you look at the world with fresh eyes. Their work could be described as a blend of surrealism, pop art and conceptual minimalism.
