Interwoven Identities 2

This artwork entitled “Interwoven Identities 2” is a delightful example of van den hooven’s ecclectic and recognisable abstract style, which combines elements of expressionism, cubism and surrealism to form a novel type of “geometric deconstructivism” art style.

Here van den hooven uses color and line to create three faces that are at the same time both whimsical and mysterious. The faces have large eyes and exaggerated features that suggest a sense of curiosity and wonder. The artist also plays with perspective and proportion, making the faces appear distorted and surreal. The artwork challenges the viewer to question their perception of reality and to explore the artist’s imaginative world.

This artwork features two real vermillion (cinnabar) rouge spots. I chose this special pigment because I believe that many synthetic orange pigments are too intense, over-saturated.
