BEAT SUITES
beat suites
The beat of a thrumming heart.
The dance of a warrior on the brink of collapse.
Beat suites are nine suites of eleven drawings respectively, picturing boxers after the blow.
The drawings are a study of humankind, and how we deal with adversity and setback. Each set of drawings is composed to baroque suites for viola da gamba. The fragility and melancholy of the music reflects both the beauty of failure, and the power of resilience.

the prints
Reproduction has become an integral part of my oeuvre. I’ve developed and perfected a specific pigment printing technique to reproduce limited series of the 99 Beat Suites drawings. The resulting prints capture the tactility and the mood of the drawings perfectely.
The beat suites prints are framed in a handmade, elegant design that protects the drawings optimally against the forces of time. The framed prints make up a new body of art.
