Now on view: Pipes & Plastics by Cas van Deurssen
About this activity.
Fifteen new works by Cas van Deurssen are on display in the solo exhibition Pipes & Plastics at Kunstpunt. Cas's work balances between art object and functional design. A defining feature is his use of industrial materials such as aluminum frames, plexiglass, and colorful panels. The works reveal a sense of layering, inviting the viewer not only to appreciate the finished result but also to engage with the creation process and underlying construction.
This exhibition is part of the series Studio Collectie: Solo, where we present work by northern artists. The art comes directly from their studios.
About Cas van Deurssen
Cas van Deurssen (1994) is a visual artist who graduated in 2020 from Academie Minerva in Groningen.

Cas’s Selection
In addition to creating new work, Cas has also explored the Art Rental collection to select his favorite pieces. "Each work has, consciously or unconsciously, a clear link to my own practice," he says of his choices. "Many works share a similar visual language, with parallels in color, technique, material, or composition. You often see dualities in the imagery and tensions between figuration and abstraction." Among his selections are works by Rob Scholte, Ruud Venekamp, and Tiddo Nieboer. These pieces are also on display at the Art Rental collection.
