Very contrasting with the slightly greyish wall are the soft and bright colors Nel Aerts selected for her wall painting ‘De beste stuurlui staan aan wal’ (The best shippers are ashore). The painting isn’t designed to fit the wall perfectly, it creates its own framing. Nel Aerts plays a game with our perception and in an illustrative way shows us clouds and the sky, flattened against this building. The innocent-appearing esthetics are characteristic to her style, just as the melancholic connotation the title of this collage creates.
