About the Item

In this large-scale vertical composition, I explore the rhythm of an old city during the blue hour. “Cascade of the Blue Hour” features a dense, fortress-like layering of European facades and roofs rising into the night. Working with a palette knife through rapid, thin strokes, I carved a central waterfall of warm light that reveals an ascending stairway. The sharp contrast between deep indigo walls, vertical paint drips, and small glowing windows captures the fragile and fluid nature of our memories Cascade of the Blue Hour, Architectural Expressionism, Urban Noir, Palette Knife City, Indigo and Gold, Large Vertical Painting, Nocturnal Stairway, City Layers, Light in Darkness, Metaphysical Space, European Fortress, Transient Memory

The Blue Hour

The Blue Hour

By CÉCILE VAN HANJA

Located in New York, NY

Born in Corsica, Cecile van Hanja spent her childhood in France before moving to the Netherlands as a child. Inspired by Piet Mondrian, the De Stijl movement, as well as her newfound home in the Netherlands, van Hanja found her calling. By focusing on straight lines and the patterns found in architecture, van Hanja became interested in finding order in a time of chaos. Van Hanja creates a rhythmical pattern of vertical and horizontal lines in her observation of architecture. A multi-colored labyrinth of overlapping planes are created in order to emphasize the immaterial aspect of a building. In juggling the ideas of irrationality and intuition, van Hanja is able to build depth in her works by layering thin layers of acrylic and oil paint. The multiple layers result in the underlying colors to be visible, and allows the architectural composition to not be static. Van Hanja wishes to give space to the individual through unique and handmade work. In her paintings, she perceives the houses and buildings as metaphors for the state of mind. The absence of human presence, a quiet stillness, and an interest in light allows for a story to form. The clear walls and floors with reflections on the opposite walls don’t give any footing and the perspective lines and vanishing points, like rational benchmarks lead to an irrational and intuitive way of thinking. Cecile van Hanja graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 1993. She is currently based in Haarlem, the Netherlands, and her work is included in private collections in France, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States. architecture, interior design, decoration, blue, linear, reflection, white, minimalism, cube, house, pool...
