Patterns (12 Colors, 3 Panels)


2022 February - MDF Panels - Acrylic paint - size 50cm x 115cm each

What is this about?
Three words form the basis for these panels: 'ritme', 'structuur' and 'patroon'. I did create a pattern of 10x23 lines in the pages in the dictionary with these words. The letters on the intersections of the line pattern in the dictionary defined the colorscheme on the panel. This way the pattern of 12 colors was defined by the words in the dictionary. There's a little more to this - which explores randomness versus regularity. If you're interested let me know.



 


Cover Art - January Edition of ACS Catalysis journal




2022 January - Cover Art published
Yara's onderzoeksgroep in Cardiff heeft een artikel gepubliceerd in Catalysis Journal van de ACS (American Chemistry Society).
Heb de Cover Art samen gemaakt met Yara.

ACS Introductie:
The image represents the generation of reactive carbenes from diazo precursors using catalytic amounts of triarylboranes. The formed carbene can be utilized for the functionalization of a range of organic compounds. The image highlights the potential catalytic power of triarylboranes and their wide applicability in organic synthesis.
Both Paul van Ingen and Yara van Ingen are acknowledged for the creation of the cover art.

Thanks Yara

Books



Op basis van het concept 'boek', heb ik zelf een aantal boeken gemaakt - boekbinders linnen, inbinden, de kneep - schutpapier en omslag. Alles erop en eraan.
Ze staan mooi in de boekenkast





Eerste boek heet 'Initium', latijn voor begin, aanvang of de initiaal





Tweede boek heet 'Sine Regula', latijn voor zonder regel. Wat als de regel niet van links naar rechts loopt, maar van voor naar achter.





Derde boek is een serie van 8: Ligaturas Octo Partes - Boek samengesteld uit 8 delen. Samen vormen ze een belangrijk motto of aanwijzing.

 


Purple Lines


4 Purple Lines - width 5cm
 


8 Purple Lines - width 2cm

2021-November
Het idee is dat met dezelfde oppervlakte aan paarse lijnen (dezelfde hoeveelheid verf op het doek) een andere balans op het doek onstaat. De patronen zijn ontworpen door middel van een klein pass-par-tout met gesneden lijnen in verschillende dikten.

Gevouwen Lijnen



2021-November
De canvas stroken vouwen zich als het ware om het doek heen
zijn het nog wel lijnen of wekt het alleen die indruk.
De stroken lijken om het doek gevouwen, maar ze lopen achter het doek in dezelfde richting terug - wonderlijk.

Lijnen zonder Doek - Compositie #1






2021-oktober
Ik ben altijd in de weer met lijnen op en doek - verhouding - ritme - struktuur
Maar wat als ik de lijnen maak zonder doek - en opzichzelf staand. Dat is dit geworden.
wel een ritme met 5 lijnen, 6 en 8 lijnen in verschillende dikten. De orientatie van de lijnen komt terug in alle drie de composities

Eye

I painted a circle-type mosiac of an eye. At close distance it looks messy and disjointed.
On the righthand-picture you see the same painting at a distance of about 20 meters. It starts to look like a sharp picture.

Rubberband lines - part 2

At the HP office in Amstelveen they ask the employees to exhibit their pieces of art at a designated wall. I have been a significant
contributor since they started the program. Most recently they asked me if I could provide an overview of all my work. I offered to make
dedicated piece for this wall - which I did .. based on my earlier 'rubberband' theme.
Under the 'rode draad : lines' section you'll find a small stop motion video.

Logo 'Sport Verandert'

Ruud van Dijk asked me to develop a new Logo for his company 'Sport Verandert'.
The logo visualises that sports can actually change your life, change your way of life - maybe even change your DNA.
Another way of looking at it is to say that Sports is in the DNA of Ruud and he wants to motivate and change people.

gravity - 2012

The concept of gravity or falling colors developed in 2010 as I was thinking of color-schemes and movement. The idea developed overtime.
While crafting the first version of colored boxes, I wanted to experiment the idea of creating an experience of movement with static structures.
This is now part of a structure of 3, providing a sense of motion.

drawing - paintings- 2009/10

Black/white drawing with quotes, copies and small drawings. I started to draw the first of this sequence in the year 1997. The one below is number 5 in the sequence. All in the same form factor, same pass-partout and same frame. I am looking for large space/large wall where I can show all 5 together.
Second painting is called 'Indian Marriage'. There's a story to the colors, the patterns - if you're interested I'll explain to you at request. Next you see 'Falling Canva's' - a theme that will come back in later work, and than there's 2 peices with a  random pattern of 13 defined pastel colors.
These pieces were made between 2007-2010 during our stay in Bangalore/India
