Koen van den Broek — Zion
Koen van den Broek

Zion

2002

Koen van den Broek's *Zion* (2002) is an oil on linen painting that captures the stark, sun-bleached landscape of the American Southwest with a minimalist yet evocative sensibility. The work distills the monumental terrain into simplified planes of color and shadow, reflecting the artist's fascination with roads, curbs, and the abstract geometry found in everyday environments. Van den Broek's restrained palette and smooth application of paint lend the composition a quiet, almost meditative tension between representation and abstraction.
