  • Bob Negryn approaches the world around him as an interplay of colors and shapes, which he captures in balanced compositions. The Mondriaan House displays a selection of Negryn's fascinating and powerful floral compositions.

In his photographs, Negryn continues the tradition that began in 17th century Dutch painting to find beauty in the everyday. The Mondriaanhuis selected a number of works from Negryn's flower series. Bob Negryn has been fascinated by flowers for over ten years. In all stages of growth, bloom and decay. He plays very consciously with light in his photos, which emphasizes the beauty of the flower.

Mondrian

Negryn's contemporary compositions resemble the flower still lifes of Piet Mondriaan, who in his earlier works could also focus strongly on depicting a single flower. Think of the amaryllis and chrysanthemum that Mondrian has regularly captured. For Bob Negryn, capturing the flowers is a way of accepting the fragility of our existence.
