Over Vedra

André Kruysen is a sculptor. He builds architectural structures, which give shape to entering daylight. In the exhibition space on the Toussaintkade he presented his installation 'About Vedra', two monumental sculptures playing with light and darkness. Vedra is a rock in the Mediterrean Sea. Andre Kruysen has great childhood memories concerning this place.

André Kruysen (1967, lives and works in The Hague) studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. He worked as an assistant designer for the architect firm Metropolis III. In 1998 he received the Charlotte van Pallandt Award for young new talent.
