Rob Voerman (b. 1966) creates spatial architectural models and assemblages, an architecture of fictitious societies within remote or busy urban structures.
New Nieuw Babylon
Where in the 1950s and '60s, Constant Nieuwenhuys developed his revolutionary Nieuw Babylon concept as an achievable utopia, Voerman now creates informal, improvised architectural constructions that partly evolved from his criticism of existing cultural, social and financial systems. He also expresses these ideas in water colours and prints.
Organic constructions
Voerman's spatial constructions are built up of organic materials, worked in bricolage-like methods. In an extension of the models, the water colours and prints show spherical impressions of urban and industrial landscapes. Rob Voerman's work is not simply dark, it also offers openings towards a different approach to our own time.
