Daan Rietbergen

Daan Rietbergen is a graphic designer ànd an artist. He is fascinated by the alphabet and is always busy transforming letters and typography into abstract forms. He plays with the scale and architectural qualities of letters. Rietbergen’s letterforms and typographic experiments are often based on a strict grid, and the rules he imposes on himself when designing often outweigh legibility. Upon closer inspection of the works, Daan’s hand is clearly visible. His incredibly steady and careful handwork is emphasized by the visible pencil lines that give his letter paintings extra life. He sees his letters as living, individual characters that can stand alone, but can also form a family together.
Daan Rietbergen has now been seen several times with Moving Gallery at art fairs in the Netherlands and abroad and was previously in our exhibitions Black on White and Positions.
