Tycho van Zomeren
Acrylic and oil on canvas
170 x 200 cm

Van Zomeren’s paintings explore the perceptive boundaries between the abstract and realistic subject matter. ‘Nautical Twilight’, photorealistic at first glance, reveals curved strokes at a closer look. The stark contrast between the dark contour of the branches and the soft, glowing color palette of the sunset creates a vibrant, yet static setting. The intriguing, ambiguous dynamic between the dark and bright; photorealism and delicate, yet large brushstrokes invite the viewer to reflect on what one experiences when looking at the landscape.
