Statement
Frits van de Reep is graduated in architecture at the Eindhoven University of Technology. In 2010 he attended the masterclass of the international photo festival Breda Photo. Since 2013 he is a member of Kunstenaars Centrum Bergen (KCB).
The inspiration he gets from architecture and urbanism has a major influence on his photography.
Central feature of his work is the minimalistic ordering of the world around him. The effect of light, tranquility and disorientation are elements that often returns in his work.
Fascinated by the genius loci, the spirit of the place, he uses the camera to intuitively explore and absorb his environment. A search for hidden beauty to make it visible in all its simplicity and abstraction.
As the light plays with structure and space and makes it visible, other forms are revealed in the shadow.
