AWARDS 2022
After 2,5 years of insecurity and looking into the a un-bright future, the world is finally opening up again. We can enjoy the things we love in life again and so it is for all the people that work and perform in the cultural sector aswell. It brings joy to an artist to be seen by others, it gives an performance so much more meaning. When you project that light on stage the artists start to shine, they sparkle. With this feeling of being able to shine again, I started working on the Awards for Dancescreen 2022. The awards resemble movement and the expression of ones face while dancing. Two figures that move together to create one being. Every figure has a piece of stained glass, a material which has the property to adapt to the light. It acts the same way as when a dancer steps into the light, it changes. It gets brighter, it starts to glare and when the light hits it, it has the ability to project its beauty on its surroundings. Every award is unique like every artist is unique.
MARTIJN STAATSMAN
The “Tinus” in Studio Tinus comes from my childhood nickname, that stuck among my friends and family. During those early days I also spent some time in my grandfathers workshop, who was a master carpenter. This peaked my interest in craftmanship already from a young age. Later my grandfathers down-to-earth work ethic motivated me to open my own studio. My designs are straight forward and when an idea sparks, there is no compromise in executing it into a finished product. In doing so I want to lead the material into a direction where I think it should be. This goes from giving it time to develope the purpose of the material, to working on a motive where the design is instantly clear. Studio Tinus was founded in 2019, by me after I moved to Vienna in December 2018. I Graduated from Sint Lucas Boxtel in 2014 and in 2018 I graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven. At the moment I am located in the house of Burggasse 98 in Vienna.
