rotterdam 

 

wallpainting

 

technic : mineral paint on lime

titlte : metamorphose

size : about 15  x 3.50

 

commissioned by the bijenkorf , to be seen at customerservice 

the idea is to portray the mentality of the rotterdammer(no-nonsense and hard working)merging into the shapes of well-known buildings in the city.. the total image has the shape of a butterfly as a symbol of renewal 

 

 

 

 

 

four school yards 

baarnhoeve 

vlaardingen

 

titlte :vrijheid, vrede,

vriendschap ,vertrouwen

 

size : space around the four schools

 

 

 

 

 

 

the assignment was to clarify the confusion that existed with the different entrances of the schools and to make it a nice, usable,safe environment that everyone can be happy with

 

 

together with the children and people from the area we have given the squares names ( freedom,peace, friendship,trust )

with these thoughts we have made drawings...., I have translated this into organic game forms on the square

in the evening small lights go on between the tiles, a kind of starry sky shines up

 

 

 

 

 

 

safe elements have been made in the same round shapes,such as a sandbox,play hill...

although it was an assignment,  here a very high degree of freedom in design was given in a very nice collaboration

 

 

 

 

 

 

library

vlaardingen

 

entrance and interior

 

title : bookmark

blad(wijzer)

 

size : entrance, corridors,

 6 elevator doors, hanging lamps , wall lighting , walls,ceiling

 

at the entrance the pained image forms a whole with the ceiling.

the theme of the bookmark can alsobe seen here

in the ceiling LED lights can be seen as small bright spots.

the image ( that symbolizes : knowledge is power ..) enters into the library with you.

when you walk out side it looks at you ..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the challenge was to inspire people to walk into the library.

and ones inside , to provide clarity in an attractive way where everything is

 

I took the bookmark as a thought .

in dutch this word ( bookmark ) means something that gives direction ,or kan mean: page/wise , or it is the same word for leaf 

so this became the symbol I used 

 

 the blades on the doors  of the lift point the  point up or down 

 

 

 

 

through the corridors,lighting leads you further upwards.

speciallydesigned , hanging lamps and wall lamps with the same theme

the order for the shutters comes from the interpreneur from the lamp shop in the centre of vlaardingen.

dit kunstwerk wil ons omarmen

het is alsof je in een kijkdoos ( vallei) loopt 

 de schildering is aan beide kanten en laat ons zien wat we er in willen zien , steeds een ander beeld ontdekkend 

het licht speelt met de verdikkingen in de verf en historische muur 

een spel van licht en schaduw ontstaat , het beeld lijkt te bewegen

bezichtigen mogelijk indien open of op afspraak
