Bastiaan Woudt · 285 works
General Work is the ongoing body of work at the centre of Bastiaan Woudt's practice. It encompasses everything that exists outside of the defined projects: studio portraits, abstract compositions, nudes, silhouettes, still lifes, and the images that arise from impulse rather than assignment. Where projects like Peak, HENRO, or Champions are bound to a location, a theme, or a collaboration, General Work has no such boundaries. It is the work that continues when there is no deadline and no destination. It is, in the most direct sense, what Woudt makes when he is simply making.
The series forms the visual foundation from which all other work departs and to which it returns. Many of the images that have come to define Woudt's career, the high-contrast portraits, the sculptural nudes, the studies of form and negative space, belong to this body. It is the most personal category of his output and the one that most accurately represents his artistic identity.
