Koen van den Broek — Cohesion
Koen van den Broek

Cohesion

A sweeping expanse of abstracted asphalt and painted road markings dominates this large-scale oil on canvas, rendered in Koen van den Broek's signature style that hovers between figuration and abstraction. The Belgian artist reduces the urban landscape to its most essential graphic elements, playing with flattened perspective and bold geometric lines that slice across a muted, atmospheric surface. Cohesion examines the tension between structure and openness, inviting the viewer to contemplate how painted marks on a canvas mirror the painted marks that guide human movement through the world.
