Martijn Hendriks' contribution consists of a series of works that address issues of abstraction, process and language. He looks for shared ideas flanked between abstract art and the discourse on dark matter; markedly the projection of meaning onto unknown matter, obscurity, optical distortion and intersection, the collision of mutually exclusive perspectives, and the reflection of one thing in another. He approaches these subjects through a relentless examination of the language of abstraction in video, sculpture and print-based works.
