Description

In de onderdoorgang van de Bredestraathof naar de Bredestraat, bevindt zich een kunstwerk dat direct herkenbaar is als werk van Laura Ketting. De Rotterdamse Laura Keting, opgeleid als grafisch ontwerper, is experimenteel kunstenaar en ontwerper. Haar artwork draait om typografie. Letters en taal als kunstobjecten.

Haar contrastrijke, gestileerde zwart-witte belettering richt zich op vorm, ritme en structuur, waardoor de kijker in eerste instantie een grafisch kunstwerk ziet – en pas later ontdekt welke letters en woorden erin schuilgaan. Het gaat om de beleving, de ervaring van het kijken, meer nog dan om de boodschap.

In the underpass leading from the Bredestraathof to Bredestraat, there is a work of art that is instantly recognisable as the work of Laura Ketting. Laura Ketting, from Rotterdam, trained as a graphic designer and is an experimental artist and designer. Her artwork centres on typography: letters and language as art objects.

Her high-contrast, stylised black-and-white lettering focuses on form, rhythm and structure, so that the viewer initially sees a graphic artwork – and only later discovers which letters and words are hidden within it. It is about the experience of looking, even more so than the message itself.
