Stadsring

“Stadsring” by John Konijn manifests as a vibrant dance between stark light and the delicate enchantment of raindrops. This piece was inspired by a photograph of the city ring of Amersfoort that captured Konijn’s attention, its compelling interplay of harsh light and tender rain serving as the core inspiration for the artwork.

The painting bursts with the lively interplay of green and red, their bold opposition as complementary colors adding a dramatic depth to this cityscape. This is not a mere representation of a location – rather, it is a powerful emotional response, a dialogue initiated by the artist with the elements of light, color, and rain in their most raw and honest forms.

The dominance of stark light is beautifully counterbalanced by the mystic allure of raindrops, echoing the dualities we often encounter in life – light and dark, harsh and soft, bold and delicate. Through this, Konijn invites the viewer into a shared experience
