North Sea, Camperduin, 2018 - Limited Edition of 3 Photograph

In the series Stripes (2018), I’m creating images that exist in the liminal space between abstraction and representation. The images are minimalist seascapes that capture the essence of colors, forms and shapes of oceans and seas around the world that I visited to create this series. Archival pigment print on Canson Infinity fine art paper | 70 x 70 cm / 27,5 x 27,5 in The depictions of the sea reveal my deep connection to the representation of the sea by photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto and to the abstract work of the artist Gerhard Richter. To make my work, I employ an extremely precise and time-consuming process with my camera. I embrace the unpredictability of the colors, forms, lines and shapes that this technique yields. The result is a minimalist geometric composition of straight lines that neither has a large number of representational elements nor commits to its abstraction. In combination the two elements yield images that almost seem to shift before the viewers eyes. As Kandinsky said in Über das Geistige in der Kunst, music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the artist’s soul, in musical sound. Music is the art with the highest abstraction and able to convey emotions in the most direct way. I captured the seascapes I saw around the world in a minimalist, abstract form to try to convey the deep emotions that classical music evoke within me. The extreme precision that I apply in the process of creating the work, feels like playing a musical instrument and therefore lets me feel the emotions that I want to express in my images. Prints A great deal of care and research goes into the process of creating my prints. The way the image manifests itself on paper to the viewer is most important to me. Prints have an almost infinite richness of colour and detail that is impossible to reproduce in a book and there is no screen that can reproduce it. The viewer of a print can experience an image in a way that they didn’t see before. The images are printed as archival pigment print on Canson Infinity art paper. Signed, titled, dated and numbered on the back and on a certificate of authenticity.
