About 000
In 1985, when I was 16, I visited a museum for the first time in my life: the Kröller-Müller on the Hoge Veluwe. I remember being baffled that putting footsteps, as Stanley Brouwn did in the museum's sculpture garden, could be Art. - Get real!
A few years later, in 1987, the Tilburg based band MAM released their song 'Jan Schoonhoven'.
In retrospect, these 2 events are the ground for my fascination with abstract and minimalist art. And with ZERO in particular.
My interests in styles and movements have since then fanned out in all directions. But everytime this fascination with ZERO kept returning. I immersed myself further in Jan Schoonhoven. I delved into his life and times. Into his ideas and into his art. A fascinating voyage of discovery that taught me the beliefs and views of Jan Schoonhoven.
During my 35-years professional career as a graphic designer at advertising agencies, I dove deep several times into subjects completely unrelated to advertising: multimedia, hip-hop culture, Maya imagery, family history, NFTs, Metaverse. To feed my curiosity. To spark new ideas for new creative projects. A broad view of the world keeps the outlook fresh.
In 2020, after my father passed away in the midst of the Corona Toestand, I looked for something new I could dive into. At this point in my life several things came together that gave more meaning to the symbolic values of 0. I decided to do more indepth research to Jan Schoonhoven and ZERO, and combine it with my hands-on digital creative skills. Researching by creating, learning by doing.
Inspired by contemporary digital artists as well as historical abstract pioneers, I started my project 000. An artistic journey of discovery through minimalism, in a world full of maximalism. In search for essence. For 0.
