Passage 9 – In natura – John John Hoelen

Curious about how I made this masterpiece?

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

I created In Natura in 2024 at my studio in Hoogstraten as part of the Passage collection.

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

This entire piece is made from rubber waste I found in the parking lot of the local swimming pool. Combined with acrylic paint on canvas.

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

YES…

The Passage series, including this piece, is about the transformative moments we encounter in life, the choices we make and the growth we experience.

And In Kind symbolizes that endless cycle of evolution.

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

Duh 👇

The rubber waste for this series came from a pretty unlikely spot: the parking lot of a swimming pool.

Recycling and transformation at its best, wouldn’t you agree?

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

…send me an email with the work’s name in the subject line. I’ll reply ASAP to discuss pricing and answer any questions you have.

Sounds good?

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.

P.S.

If this one’s not your style, no worries 😉 — I’ve still got a bunch of other works you haven’t seen. YET…
