“Whether it’s a landscape, a human being, a space, or an object, everything radiates a certain atmosphere. These spheres – the subtle vibrations that can be felt – are my subjects. My work is not about what is seen but what is felt through the seeing .”
BIO
Rogier Houwen’s work is centered around the human experience of connecting to a universal nature shared by all
living things and beings. His images carry a mystical and poetic calm that invites viewers into a warming sense of stillness; a cosmic embrace. Seeking an equally meditative spirit in his execution as his approach, Houwen handprints all of his photographs himself.
From archival pigment prints on Kozo paper to Toyobo prints, gelatine silver prints and latest prints on
plaster, his physical artworks carry a distinctive rich textural quality unique to traditional photography
processes. Enhancing the tactility and painterly feel of his signature landscapes and still lifes.
The ‘Above’ refers to the sky, the cosmic and the spiritual. The ‘Below’ refers to our planet, the earthly and the physical. An old saying, “As above, so below”, suggests that these two dimensions – the cosmic and the earthly – are reflections of each other, working together as two layers of the same existence. The ongoing
series ‘Above / Below’ unites these two realities in a visual poem about the human experience of connecting to cosmic nature, ‘a feeling of being big and small, spiritual and physical, mystical and mundane, all at the same time, united.’
