ROOS GOMPERTS

Rotterdam-based designer, Roos Gomperts plays with the idea of materiality by drawing attention to an object s inherent qualities. From printed textiles to everyday found items, she works in a range of media, often in colourful compositions.

Gomperts uses contrast and contradiction to place focus on the sense of texture, weight, tone and even value we associate with certain materials. In her sculptural works Ceramics for Plastics and Foam & Glass the combination of ‘desirable’ and ‘disposable’ matters casts both in new lights.
