Bouwman - Type I

Bouwman - Type I

Artist Pieter Bas Bouwman, born 1990, New York, United States. Dutch-American nationality. Education: Gerrit Rietveld Academie (AMS), Fotoacademie (AMS) Title, year and medium TYPE I, 2024, insulin syringes on wooden support, covered with plexiglass Dimensions 35 × 26 × 5 cm (h × w × d) Signature Signed on the back of the work Edition Unique work Provenance Directly from the artist's studio; exhibited in galleries Documentation Authenticity confirmed via signature on the back of the work Condition New work, without signs of use Description TYPE I is a personal art project by Pieter Bas Bouwman, who has lived with type 1 diabetes since the age of seven. The work translates a daily reality into a visual language of repetition and rhythm. Central is the tension between control and temptation, two forces that constantly vie for precedence. Each work consists of a box filled with insulin syringes, hand-arranged into a pattern on a wooden substrate. The placement requires patience and precision; the repetition that emerges recalls the routines with which a life is structured, whether or not diabetes is involved. A plexiglass lid closes the work, temptation that remains visible, but just out of reach. Shipping The artwork is shipped in the original box. Shipping costs are to the buyer.
