Robbie Cornelissen (1954) draws complex architecture, baroque portraits and almost abstract representations. In all ‘genres' the artist's passion is striking: without exception the representations are highly detailed and drawn with great intensity.

Often the drawings are of enormous dimensions (up to 240 x 380 cm). Because of the large size and the unprecedented amount of detail the observer is lured into the picture and then taken by surprise with all sorts of bizarre details, giving the image a new, unexpected meaning. Characteristic is that Robbie Cornelissen always integrates the familiar and the bizarre into something completely matter of course.
