Koen van den Broek

Garage

A sweeping expanse of smooth asphalt and architectural shadow dominates this large-scale oil painting, rendered in Koen van den Broek's signature style of flattened, graphic abstraction. The Belgian artist reduces the mundane urban structure to bold geometric forms and stark contrasts of light and shade, stripping the familiar subject of unnecessary detail. The result is a quietly monumental image that hovers between representation and pure abstraction, inviting contemplation of overlooked everyday spaces.
