My Poem to the Golden Gate Bridge
Nico van Dongen
Artist/Photographer
Nico van Dongen’s artwork is best described as a fusion between photography and sculpture, where every day, sceneries are transformed into dynamic, 2D time-based creations. The artist investigates reality, to uncover what we perceive as real. In doing so, the artist blurs the lines between reality and imagination to expose what’s hidden beneath our experiences. Through this innovative work, the artist invites us to ponder what constitutes reality, and how the art of observation can lead us to a richer awareness of our world.
"The Dutch artist, Nico Van Dongen’s striking Golden Gate Bridge photographs combine a contemporary experimental and experiential approach to photography with a traditional yearning for meaning or transcendence." Read full transcript– DeWitt Cheng, Curator, Stanford Art Space
