Berend Strik (b. 1960, Nijmegen) is best known for his embroidered works. Since 2012, Strik has been working on a series called Decipher the Artist’s Mind, about artists’ studios. During The Raft. Art is (not) lonely he gets to work on the living space in apartment 340. Aided by existing, iconographic material and his own work, he interweaves the lives of artists like Spilliaert, Géricault en Ensor to realize a large-scale, room-filling installation.
