Measuring 30 × 40 cm, the work combines a traditional painterly approach with heavily textured surfaces and an expressive, semi-abstract treatment of an industrial landscape.
from a distance, the composition reads as an atmospheric architectural scene illuminated by a strong band of light. Up close, the image breaks down into thick layers of paint, rough cement textures and bold brushstrokes. Warm yellow and ochre tones contrast with deep purple and burgundy areas, creating a strong interplay between light, shadow and material.
Den Ouden balances recognizable architectural elements with abstraction, allowing the painting to shift between industrial landscape, interior space and pure painterly structure. The rough surface and irregular edges reinforce the physical character of the work, while the luminous central area gives the composition a quiet, contemplative intensity.
Signed by the artist and presented as an original work, Light is suited to collections of contemporary Dutch art, abstract landscape painting, industrial landscape art and expressive mixed-media painting. Signed by Maker See less
