About the artist
Meindert Regoort - wood art in exclusive vases and abstract objects made of special woods. Unique in form, complexity and perfection. Meindert is woodturner and maker of wooden objects and furniture. He likes to work on his own, but also on commission, as long as it is traditional, artistic and sometimes Art.
Wood, and especially solid wood, is for Meindert Regoort a unique and challenging material. The art is to let it do exactly what you want and give it the shape you have in mind. Sometimes that is almost transparently thin or solidly strong, sometimes it seems more like "wood for holes".
For the 'free work' Meindert Regoort prefers strongly drawn wood, lively with a capricious growth or with a story. Wood with sleep, not the kind of sleep for which you lie in bed, but a fungus that draws black lines in the wood....is it fungus or is it beauty?
