Zen Dageraad's piece delves into Zoomer sentiment, contrasting a laughing green face against red frowns, paired with a contemplative poem.

Too Contrarian To Be Sad

A commentary on the contemporary sentiment of the Zoomer generation. At its heart, a green face with distinctive features – a full left eye contrasting with a right-facing one, eyebrows extending into the nose and ear, a subtle mole, a hint of a mustache, and an infectious laughter. The face's rich green hue, outlined with a deeper green, contrasts starkly against the lighter blue that dominates the top, symbolizing perhaps a rare moment of joy in a sea of melancholy. Flowing from the top is a cascade of hair, outlined in light yellow but filled with a more intense shade, embodying vibrant energy and movement. But at the base lie three red frowning faces, underscoring the prevalent sadness. Between them, a deeper blue pervades, drawing a line between jubilation and sorrow. Accompanying the image is a poignant verse that contemplates sadness and identity: "i am not sad... & there is that."

Discover Zen Dageraad's tranquil yet lively artwork, beautifully capturing the outskirts of Den Bosch and radiating a warmth akin to a classic hippy blues song

Same All Over

Immerse yourself in Zen Dageraad's captivating visual interpretation of a classic hippy blues anthem, where the core motif centers on the ubiquity of cool people. This tranquility-infused depiction resonates with the song's serene vibes, portraying the outskirts of Den Bosch through the artist's unique lens.

The artwork portrays a peaceful scene dominated by a bench in varying shades of blue-green, against a backdrop of harmonious pink hues. Saturated green bushes punctuate the soothing expanse, their verdant branches offset by the blush-colored fields beyond. Four diminutive blue bodies dot the landscape, leading the eye upwards towards a straight river, its path illuminated by a light blue lining. An orange house graces the field, its dark red windows casting a silent invitation to its serene interiors.

The landscape concludes in a forest of minuscule trees, their leaves a vivid dark green, standing tall against the pink ground and a sky of a deeper shade. The contrast between clouds and a purple sun creates a captivating skyline. The resultant purple light outlines the bench, bushes, and tree branches, subtly tying the elements together in an atmospheric harmony.

Zen Dageraad invites you on a journey to discover that wherever you are, there are cool people, peace, and happiness.

Windowless

Amidst the historical aura of Den Bosch, an arresting sight emerges: a tall, majestic purple wall, interrupted solely by a green-blue door. This door, distinct with its three tints of green-blue and a wheelchair ramp, is an emblem of accessibility amidst solitude. Adjacently, another dark purple wall reveals a trio of colored windows—blue at the top, green in the middle, and orange at the base. Mirroring this, yet another wall showcases windows with lights matching these colors, each revealing a unique scene within.

To the left, a dark red fence atop a ledge, borders a serene body of water. In it, a boat—shaded in gradients of orange—floats. Nearby, a verdant patch of land cradles a tree, its leaves a symphony of three greens. A yellow checkers pattern surrounds the door, outlined in pink, just as every element in the piece. Zen Dageraad, through his art, captures the juxtaposition of inspiration and history, where the erstwhile confinements become today's muse.
