About the artwork

The digital artwork "Stadsschouwburg" shows the imposing back of the Stadsschouwburg Utrecht, seen from the calming water surface of the canal. This composition focuses on the harmony between architecture and surroundings. The building's facade is reflected in the rippling water, creating a play between reality and reflection.
A striking feature is the bright orange sunshades that contrast rhythmically with the theatre's neutral, modern building materials. They catch the sunlight and give the building a warm, almost theatrical feel. These colour accents act as a visual bridge between the cool tones of concrete, glass and the blue-grey water.
Dominating the image is the glass technology tower, which rises from the structure like a transparent beacon. The tower reflects the sky and forms a contemporary counterpoint within the otherwise subdued silhouette of the rear façade. The use of digital light and shadow subtly accentuates the tower, enhancing the vertical character of the building.
The perspective from the water not only emphasises the scale of the Stadsschouwburg, but also the relationship between urban architecture and the Utrecht canal landscape. The reflection in the water adds a poetic layer to the image, blurring the boundary between building and surroundings.
"Stadsschouwburg" is an ode to urban beauty off the beaten track - a digital snapshot that elevates the everyday to art.
