Space

“

The theme of Space in all its apparitions — from landscape through to the concept of mental space — arises from the idea that physical space can stimulate and inspire mental space. In essence, a space is constituted by what room is made for; it is that which remains within given boundaries. Landscapes, architecture, the hinge between nature and culture, and the notion of mental space are lines transecting this theme, which forms a Leitmotif running through the AkzoNobel art collection.
