index of sculptures 1988 to 2023
Ron van der Ende. Born in Delft, NL, 1965. Lives and works in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Wall mounted bas-relief sculptures made from found wood, constructed by hand by Rotterdam based artist Ron van der Ende. By using the color and texture of the aged materials and by painstakingly rendering the perspective he conjures up artifacts from the collective subconscious, of outdated tech and symbols of stalled futures.
Works by Ron van der Ende have been exhibited a.o. in Delta Gallery in Rotterdam, Ambach & Rice Gallery in Seattle and Los Angeles and in Ron Mandos Gallery in Amsterdam, Groninger Museum; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar; Kunsthal Rotterdam and the Ludwig Forum in Aachen; KunstRai Amsterdam, Art Colgne, Art Frankfurt , Art Basel, NADA Miami Beach, Dallas Art Fair, Expo Chicago and The Armory Show in New York.
