Tribute to Sol LeWitt
iCOON traditionally honors minimalist artists from the 1960s every year. This year, it's Sol LeWitt. Four muralists and one 3D artist are showcasing their work at iCOON. Together with Marleen van Wijngaarden, founder of Rotterdam-based Murals Inc., Helma Vlemmings, curator of iCOON, selected the muralists: Nanna van Heest, Jelmer Noordeman, Ropp Schouten, and Sigmund de Jong. They will create one or more murals, both indoors and outdoors.
Joep Brouwer was the fifth artist, asked to create a connection between the four spaces of iCOON with his sculptures.
Jelmer Noordeman
Jelmer Noordeman's work explores the tension between duality and balance. Contrasts between accumulation and abstraction, movement and stillness, recur repeatedly. His fascination stems from an understanding of perception, where the paradox of the desire to see the whole often leads to blurring and dissonance. The relationship between time, space, and movement is a key starting point, as is the interplay between object, space, and viewer. Rhythms and natural patterns provide his work with an underlying structure.
