Catalogue Note
Taking its inspiration from the regularity and order he perceived around him in the fabric of modern living, Schoonhoven's work sought to form a bridge between art and contemporary society through a universal abstract visual language that was both devoid of emotion and filled with infinite possibilities of interpretation. Using an impersonal and entirely novel approach to art making that combined painting and sculpture, this exquisitely hand-crafted monochrome papier-mache relief possess an internal harmony, whose sense of purity is carefully balanced by its delicate surface and subtle tonal movement.
