Eerbetoon aan Sol LeWitt
Traditionally, iCOON honors minimalist artists from the 1960s every year. This year, it's Sol LeWitt. Four muralists and one 3D artist will be exhibiting 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, invited to create a connection between iCOON's four spaces with his sculptures.
Ropp Schouten
Ropp Schouten (Vlaardingen, February 5, 1978) is an abstract, minimalist visual artist and painter.
He creates minimalist abstract works in the tradition of modernism and American minimal art. Schouten lives and works in Rotterdam.
The interplay of symmetry, asymmetry, movement, rhythm, and spatial tension. His geometric compositions of straight and sometimes curved lines and/or planes are simple in form and reference art historical and philosophical themes. A reduction to simplicity and the inessential.
