Bart Lunenburg


In the series of wall sculptures Warding Window (2023-24), Bart Lunenburg explores the design and characteristics of window shutters found in the Eastern part of The Netherlands. Their colours and compositions referred to the heraldic weapons of the local landowners and served as a symbol of feudal ownership. In the series, he deconstructs historic shutter designs and rearranges them into new rhythmic compositions, a similar method to making a quilt or a patchwork. Once the farmhouse owner changed — due to marriage, war, or succession — the window shutters were painted over with new colours and designs.
