The analog collages are the very center of the artistic work of Bep Broos. Compare this with her ceramic art - another major field of her many interests - where you can find yourself in a vast universe of related shapes; see her website 'urns' collection. The collages here take a liberate and more diverse approach to the language of visual expression, as imaging ranges from pure basics to florid scenes and involved layers of position and meaning. All the original works are in paper. Subtle, maybe, rather than in solid, baked texture, but again always containing an element of surprise, of concise but puzzling though candid stories that pervade atmosphere, context, wit, warmth and good humor. The quality of the collages is all apparent: they are actually cut & paste, showing patience and precision, as well as thoughtful composition, minding detail and lots of intuition.
