The Tone of Liverpool

Posted on by

The painter John Atkinson Grimshaw is best known for his moody urban landscapes. This impressionistic painting of Liverpool in 1875* is an inspiration in how tones, spheres, moods, perspectives and contexts can be found and fixed.

This scene is impressionistic and direct at the same time. It is easy to imagine you actually are there, transcended with your personal time-machine 149 years backwards to one of the most developed cities of Europe, Liverpool. Talking of ‘finding to tone’, this painting is an accurate example. No words are needed to describe what the tone of the city was.

Quercus Palette

Posted on by

On what is now the edge of a forest I found this 35 meter mighty pedunculate oak (zomereik, Quercus robur L.) in late evening light. The rich palette of its trunk tells the story. From 10 meter above ground onwards it had decided, many years ago, to form the basis of its mighty crown. It has become a place full of life.

Serengeti Blues

The story behind

Once a pristine and unique ecosystem, the Serengeti in Tanzania, where many animals live, meet and breed. Balanced, rich and telling the storing of our planet from ancient times on.

Now the immense grasslands (green) are step by step disturbed by more tourist roads (white), system boarders (black) and settlings (red). It is increasingly coming under pressure. This unique ecosystem is literally cut into pieces. An art expression.

Climate Change

The story behind

Climate change is present, everywhere. It is in all headlines now.  From eagle (or International Space Station) perspective one can sense the major impact of it. The ecosystems of coral reefs, forests are mostly affected. Ice sheets melt all over the place and storms are raging our homes and cities. Their colours dominate the landscape.

What stands out is the small blue square. That is government. In fact it is us. Doing not that much to prevent, adapt and redirect this change. A small blue dot within our blue marble Earth. An art expression.
