DESCRIPTION
The Sprinkenhof building complex is one of those buildings that really sparked my imagination during a brief stay in Hamburg earlier this year. The courtyard look-up is a famous architecture photography hot spot, successfully captured by many people. The incredible facade made me wish to see more of it, so I extended the majestic window experience. The particular shape of the cloud provided the title I gave it.
AUTHOR
Paul Brouns (1967) is a photographing artist living near Amsterdam. Observing the urban world, he is attracted by the abstract, rhythmic poetry of buildings. Available in limited editions, his work has been exhibited worldwide and sold to collectors, ranging from Tokyo, Seoul and New Delhi, to New York, London and Amsterdam.
In the series "Urban Tapestries" façades are captured frontally, filling the entire composition. Because of their simplicity and shallow depth, attention is drawn to rhythm, colour and light on the surfaces.
Its counterpart is the "Perspective Play" series. In these works visual depth and converging lines of perspective are used to fill the image plane with repeating elements. In both series sometimes photographic images are manipulated. Expanded surfaces and enhanced feelings of scale give the work a hypnotic attraction.
