Pieter Laurens Mol

Pieter Laurens Mol belongs to a generation of contemporary Dutch artists whose work combines conceptual complexity with multiple layers of perception, interpretation, and meaning. His extensive body of work combines sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, installation, publications, and video. Certain concerns recur constantly in his work: a fascination with the relativity of time, the possibilities of manipulating space and scale, an intense interest in the past, a sensitivity to the importance of chance and accident in the creative process, and inventiveness within visual parameters.

In all its complexity, Mol’s work demands immersion in order to decipher and appreciate the subtle nuances of his intentions. Close to surrealism and visual poetry, his works combine words, forms, and images to explore the impossibility of representing reality. He has had solo exhibitions at internationally renowned institutions such as MoMA in New York, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, among many others.
