Bouwman - Type I

Artist Pieter Bas Bouwman, born 1990, New York, United States. Dutch-American nationality. Education: Gerrit Rietveld Academie (AMS), Fotoacademie (AMS) Title, year and technique TYPE I, 2024, insulin syringes on a wooden substrate, covered with plexiglass Dimensions 32 × 32 × 5 cm (h × w × d) Signature Signed on the back of the work Edition Unique work Provenance Directly from the artist's studio; exhibited in galleries Documentation Authenticity confirmed via signature on the back of the work Condition New work, with no signs of use Description TYPE I is a personal art project by Pieter Bas Bouwman, who has lived with type 1 diabetes since he was seven. The work translates a daily reality into a visual language of repetition and rhythm. Central to the piece is the tension between control and temptation, two forces that constantly vie for priority. Each work consists of a box filled with insulin syringes, hand-arranged into a pattern on a wooden substrate. Placement requires patience and precision; the resulting repetition evokes the routines that structure a life, whether diabetes is involved or not. A plexiglass lid completes the work, a temptation that remains visible but just out of reach. Shipping The artwork is shipped in the original box. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
