About the artwork
This is a work with something to discover. At first glance, it may look like an abstract painting. Soon enough , especially when looking through the hairs of the eye, it turns out to be a crudely painted map of the world. But on closer inspection, that entire world map turns out to be composed of countless pieces of the map of the Netherlands.
I created this map by defining that map of the Netherlands as a brush in Photoshop. I then started painting, with the brush deriving its colour from the underlying world map. Varying the rotation and size of the brush naturally created a lively and colourful map.
To be clear: this is not an ode to the VOC mentality from the country's colonial past. But rather to the wanderlust of the Dutch. A nod to the phenomenon that no matter which corner of the planet you are in, you will always meet fellow countrymen.
And above all, of course, it is also just a joke. Hang it on the wall and wait and see how long it takes for visitors to get the joke!
