Cloud (Bikini 1946), 2021

Some years ago already Robbie Cornelissen’s focus shifted from architectural spaces with a gravitating central perspective into more undefined spaces where there is rather a movement from inside to the outside. These derive from his studies of clouds where not the line but the volume is decisive and the pencil is replaced by graphite powder. An early work from this Cloud series is based on a photo of the mushroom-shaped cloud resulting from the hydrogen bomb test at the Bikini Atoll.
