Within spatial boxes, Robbert de Goede creates a bright illusion of endlessness. The meditative energy he puts into the work lays over the observer as a calming blanket. The threads he uses flow like colours without texture. Mathematical models and cosmic events serve as sources of inspiration. There’s no chance in his work, only at the very start of creation.

As an architect, Robbert de Goedes excellence lies in arranging spaces. Paying great respect to 1960s minimalism by separating positive and negative space, his art creates room for reflection. His art deweaponizes and makes masks fall off. Two strangers in the same space will share an equal, though personal experience and therefore will instantly relate. New connections are made.

Craftsmanship plays a big part in de Goedes work. It illuminates the artists touch and strives to connect us as people, therefore he uses thread. His artworks are like passages, with moments before, during, and after. The transparency is about taking away the fear of the unknown, making it easier to discover and yet be surprised.

In his art, changing perspective is key to experience the artwork completely, this is a moral he wants to clarify through his work. People learn better through experience, especially when it involves changing ones point of view. De Goedes work lets us dive deeper into what we already know. It is a counter to the fast pace of society. He wants to encourage people to stop and explore before deciding on the next step.

Time, a big theme for Robbert de Goede, becomes fluid as you navigate through his art. There is a democratic space created in his art where background, status and age are not relevant. Light, time, space, silence, movement, and meditation form the common thread that weaves people together when viewing his work.

It disrupts your balance and makes you reflect on your place in this world.
