With this series of works of art on the lightbox made in the period 2017 to 2018. Here Patrick Koster continues and expands his previous series. Research is being conducted into minimal use of color, such as only the color red. The collage technique for composing an image with adhesive film on drawing polyester is new. At present, its use has not yet been followed in the visual arts. Presenting the image on the light box makes the image very intense and compelling. The images are also made on light boxes in the studio. For many people, these works of art evoke associations with stained glass windows.

Use your imagination

In conversation with artist Patrick Koster: Inspired by the time and world we live in, Patrick Koster intervenes artistically by placing ‘the evil’ in an alienating context. His work in Lightbox 2017-2018 ensures that your mind does not immediately see through the struggle and violence in the image, but that you use your imagination to fathom it. “In my work I study the violence and ideas of attackers. In many cases there is hardly any contradiction between reasonable thinking and evil. Reason is an instrument that can be used for good and for evil. Thinking too can easily turn from good to evil. “
