Nightshop is Ward van Gemert (1981). Ward’s work is at the intersection of art and design, where inspiration is found in the smallest everyday matters. The find of a postcard with a waving Mickey Mouse or the sight of one

a fully written toilet door along the German highway can lead to a new series of products.

 

These series continue to expand and develop. In the mostly colorful graphic work the boundaries are explored in a playful way between good and bad taste and between high and low (popular) culture. So can continue

Ward’s intervention to turn a disposable barbecue bowl into a high-end lamp and become oneboring second-hand office cupboard an object of value in a museum.
