The opus of Michel Hoogervorst (1961, Netherlands) comprises drawings, etchings, and paintings made with acrylic and alkyd paint. The use of lines and planes divides the canvases into compartments. Within these grids, the artist tells his story. His work often depicts subdued observations of everyday objects and subjects. At times, the details of the subjects or objects may be recognizable, but more often than not, they are abstracted into clear forms that exude a deep serenity through their monumental composition.
