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.
Geïnspireerd door het sneeuwlandschap in het Zwarte woud (1980) nabij Bad-Säckingen, op de grens van Duitsland en Zwitserland.
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 borders (black) and settlings (red). It is increasingly coming under pressure. This unique ecosystem is literally cut into pieces. An art expression.
This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® colours Black 6c, High Risk Red and Grass Green is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is a reminder of how one of the most pristine and key natural ecosystems in the world is on the brink of devaluation.
Opnieuw achter de piano. Wat kan het publieke domein van stad en samenleving tot rust brengen… tot vrede, weg van de dynamiek en retoriek, weg van koppen en hoofdlijnen, van drones en mijnen? In elk geval de tonen van Bill Evans. Wat een linkerhand partij! Twee noten, gevolgd door twee akkoorden. Peace piece. Een mantra.
Een jaar later waren zij overigens ook onderdeel (opening Flamenco Sketches) van het meest beroemde jazz album ever, a Kind of Blue.
De akkoorden uit 1958 wijzen ons de weg, nog steeds. In elk geval mijn handen én hart. Dank, Bill.
Climate change is present everywhere. It is in all the headlines now. From the eagle (or International Space Station) perspective, one can sense the significant impact of it. The ecosystems of coral reefs and forests are mostly affected. Ice sheets melt everywhere, and storms rage in 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.
This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® colours Forest Biome, Living Coral, Snow White and Storm Gray is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is an urgent reminder of climate change hurting our pristine and critical natural ecosystems and our present small effort to prevent and react.
