Four gouaches, created in different periods, constitute the series of images for the concert programme at Flanders Opera. They share the typical use of colours of Koen van den Broek, as well as their themes, which are mostly architectural. Here too, the metaphors are never far away: the cracks in the road surface echo those in the institute, the viaduct connects, the lines provide direction and a road, the parked car in the snow designates a clash between nature and culture. Each image is a victim, caught by the artist’s sharp, expert eye.
