Biography
Douglas Hoekzema—part machine, part mad-scientist.
Weaving his paints in and out like a human-loom, he uses logarithmic spirals to chronicle the passage of time and the universal parallels between control and chaos. Implementing sacred geometry, and a hand-made paint pendulum, Hoekzema is able to use the earth's gravitational pull to layer minute upon minute, channeling the cosmos and the individual mechanisms that hold life together.
Also known for his murals and spray work, Hoekzema references the spiritual, natural, and instinctual pull toward balance; meeting two polar opposites in the middle to discover their inevitable likeness. With restraint being an ever-present key to his practice, Hoekzema actively participates as a module in the grander system, consciously pushing his patterns and designs to the point of synergetic equilibrium.
