Carel Balth (born Nov 25, 1939, Rotterdam) is a Dutch artist. His work is characterised by the innovative use of new media, where a synthesis of light, motion and space occupies a central position and where new means of perception are constantly investigated. Balth uses a wide array of tools to get to the core of human perception and consistently utilises unconventional means and materials, from vinyl to Plexiglas to deliberately pixilated images. Important influences in his work are Mondriaan and Lucio Fontana.
