Dutch painter Frank Holmans (Frank halmans) in his own way develops the ideas of some ancient philosophers about the many universes that are contained in each universe. According to Holmans, many small houses are enclosed in every house - for example, a great dwelling can be made from a tattered old book.
Holmans' touching works from books, executed with unconditional imagination, are not his first appeal to the "home" theme: before that there was a project Full house, in which the Dutchman created miniature dwellings from vacuum cleaners. Like his fellow bibliophile Joel RobinsonHolmans, it seems, would not mind settling on his own bookshelf to spend all his time surrounded by the immortal lines of his favorite writers or spectacular photographs from travel albums.
Some may be outraged by Holmans' barbaric treatment of books, some of which are more than half a century old, but the artist has good reason for that. He thinks it’s better to give books a new meaning than to leave them covered in dust in the back of someone’s bookcase. They have already served someone with pleasant reading, and now they are pleasing to the eye, turning into funny crafts.
Unlike the project with vacuum cleaners Full house, in a cycle of works Built of books the artist had to work much less to transform his source material. It is enough to cut out a door and a couple of windows in a stack of books, and then fasten them with a string - and now it turns into a tiny architectural object. The shape of buildings can be the most unpredictable - as it happens in real life.
