Curator Van Welzenis brought together various artists for this project, taking into account the history of Museum iCOON and its minimalist approach to abstraction. This exhibition showcases modern abstract art in diverse forms and expressions. It includes works by historical pioneers such as Jan van Munster and Ad Dekkers, as well as works by contemporary artists such as Kirstin Arndt, Fergus Martin, and Gerold Miller.
The participating artists distinguish themselves in contemporary abstract art through their specific approach to form, light, and structure: Ad Dekkers, who created sleek white wooden reliefs; Jan van Munster, who worked with light and energy; Peter Struycken, who combines color theory with digital techniques; Sigmund de Jong, who focuses on architectural structures and works with lines and planes; Gerold Miller, who works with geometric, glossy forms; Fergus Martin, who creates subtle paintings and sculptures with rhythm and lines; and Kirstin Arndt, who experiments with materials and light in installations.
Visitors to the museum will experience abstract art as a continuous exploration of form, colour, and space. It demonstrates how artists from different generations continually rediscover these elements. The juxtaposition of different works and approaches creates a rich whole.
The title of this exhibition is "Gloom"; to the shine and radiance of the works, by the sea, in a bunker, where no daylight enters.
