Passage 4 – Alumni – John John Hoelen

Alumni 👇

Curious about how I made this masterpiece?

Check out the FAQ below where I answer all the common questions!

John, when did you make this?

I made Alumni in 2024 as part of the Passage collection.

Okay, cool John. But what materials did you use?

This piece is made from rubber waste found in a swimming pool parking lot, and it’s painted with acrylics on canvas.

Thanks John! Is there by any chance also a story behind the artwork?

YES…

The Passage series is big on change. See.. in life we occasionally come across something we don’t understand. So, we learn. And change and evolve.

Once that’s happened, we suddenly get new opportunities in front of us.

Why?

NO ONE knows.

Let’s just call it the magic of change. The magic of life. Which is exactly what this piece represents.

That’s epic. And I’m sorry to keep asking, but do you also have a fun fact?

Duh 👇

It’s always fun to tell people that the materials came from something as mundane as a parking lot. Who would’ve thought such beauty could come from discarded rubber?

If you love this work and want it to be yours...

And if I were you, I’d hurry up. Because this is a one-of-a-kind piece. And once it’s gone, it’s gone. FOREVER.
