Koen van den Broek — Twin Towers
Koen van den Broek

Twin Towers

Twin Towers by Koen van den Broek is a striking oil on canvas that captures the artist's signature exploration of architectural form and urban landscape through bold, simplified planes of color. Van den Broek reduces the iconic structures to their most essential geometric qualities, stripping away detail in favor of stark contrasts and sweeping expanses of paint. The work reflects his ongoing fascination with the threshold between representation and abstraction, inviting the viewer to contemplate the monumental presence of built environments.
