About the art
Artist statement
City in motion – the changing skyline of Utrecht'
Utrecht is a city on the move, especially the city center on the side I am living. The ongoing construction work and new buildings. A nice concept to take as a starting point.
I like working with residual material, and this plan is ideal for that. I started with a collection of bluestone blocks that fit well together in size. With sufficient variation.
My sculpture embodies the evolving urban landscape. Each stone element, textured and raw, reflects the myriad facets of city life. Bringing this into your space infuses it with the dynamic essence of progress and the steadfast beauty of architectural forms.
It is made out of 9 parts. It is a combination of straight and slanting lines, with different heights, various structures, ranging from matte light gray to glossy black. This sculpture is about composition, proportion and rhythm. The spacing also plays a role. You can adjust the setup depending on where it will be placed. It's a bit of a puzzle, what works and what doesn't?
