Cabinets

How satisfying it must be to arrive upon an idea that is large and rich enough to sustain years of experimentation. Painter Gijs Frieling and typographer Job Wouters have been lucky enough to find one. Known collectively as FreelingWaters, they have applied their imagery to a variety of surfaces, from walls and buildings to billboards, books, clothing, and even coffins. For their new project they have turned to antique cabinets, which they see as all- accommodating vessels just begging to be invested by the imagination. But instead of cabinets filled with curiosities, FreelingWaters’s cabinets are themselves the curiosity.

FreelingWaters cabinets is an ongoing project of hand painted antique pine furniture.
