Bo Emmens’ first Rotterdam; Enkele lantaarnpalen Deel 1: Hillesluis, Vreewijk, Bloemhof en Afrikaanderwijk
A series of landscape drawings (oil pastel, mixed techniques on paper) of the aforementioned neighbourhoods with lampposts as the subject; symbolising that which is found everywhere, but appreciated by none. Together with fragments from my logbook and a correspondence with the department of public lighting of the municipality of Rotterdam, these drawings form a narrative work about a searching artist in a searching city.
As a local resident, Bo captures these neighbourhoods with light-hearted but sincere intent. With this project he addresses his neighbours, who know these streets and lampposts way better than he does. Do you recognize all the locations?
