Since the early 1980s, letters, words and short sentences have been the ‘materials’ with which visual artist Marc Ruygrok has created his works of art. A defining characteristic of his visual language is a preference for elementary geometric shapes: circles, squares, spheres and cubes. For more than twenty years, Ruygrok has been drawing, constructing and photographing these sculptures, which, through the years, have acquired a unique vocabulary, both literally and figuratively.

For the past fifteen years, his focus has been directed towards monumental site-specific three-dimensional works, which often are made up of letters that form phrases or words. Apart from the visual qualities of these massive sculptures, the words evoke immediate associations. These three-dimensional language sculptures are also specifically tied to their location, as they reveal or facilitate a deeper meaning in all their mystery.
