Koen van den Broek

2009

Drawing, 43 x 35.5 cm .
Materials: paper

Collection: Courtesy Philipp von Rosen Gallery, Keulen.

Four gouaches, created in different periods, constitute the series of images for the concert programme at Flanders Opera. They share the typical use of colours of Koen van den Broek, as well as their themes, which are mostly architectural. Here too, the metaphors are never far away: the cracks in the road surface echo those in the institute, the viaduct connects, the lines provide direction and a road, the parked car in the snow designates a clash between nature and culture. Each image is a victim, caught by the artist’s sharp, expert eye.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
