My work is about ideas, inspired by patterns we are immersed in. Forces, shapes & rhythms of nature, positive & negative space, how humans & nature interact – this is what I think about. Unknown symbols, layers of color, lines, forms & sometimes text make their way into my work. I make art so I can see what I am thinking. I make art so I can get closer to the human world and closer to the natural world – closer to life. Media have included spray paint (used with templates and stencils), collage, water-based paints, cut painted paper, pastels, colored pencils. Recently, I create the works with pastels on paper. Then I mount the paper on a canvas which has already been prepared with gesso in a thick layer so that the final top surface is softy textured. Lastly the surface is sealed with a clear spray and I texture the surface so the work becomes more of an object or ARTefact, the documentation of an idea.” explains Randy Nutt of his creative process and artwork.

Notre Dame des Arts is located at Rijksstraatweg 37, 6574 AC, Ubbergen – Netherlands. The exhibition space is housed in a beautiful chapel built in Gothic Revival style between 1910 and 1916. It was originally the former convent and boarding school for girls Notre Dame des Anges, of which the name Notre Dame des Arts is derived. Architect JH Groenendaal was inspired by the chapel Sainte Chapelle in Paris. This is reflected among other things in the pointed arch windows with stained glass. Since the mid-1980’s the religious function of the chapel slowly began to disappear,  and over the years the church was converted into a contemporary showcase for visual artists to exhibit original artworks within a majestic, open and bright space.
