Ron van der Ende

I've featured the work of Ron van der Ende here before, and he keeps cranking out the goodness. Did I mention that he utilizes the original colors of salvaged wood finds to create these amazing bas-reliefs? No painting!

Crazy relief sculpture/painting/installations by Ron van der Ende. Whatever they are, they're pretty awesome.

Update from Ron himself....this clears up a lot of things:

Actually they are not painted at all. They are bas-reliefs, almost flat, constructed from pieces of old wood. All the colors come from doors and other painted wood I find in the garbage. I strip them and take them apart and saw them into a 3mm thick veneer with the old paint layers still intact. This veneer is then jig-sawed to size and nailed down to form shapes, shadows, reflection etc.
