Maarten Vromans - Urban Erosion

From 2014 to 2020 I have been exploring the impact that people, nature and weather have on urban development, mainly in Dutch cities such as Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Delft. I have been focusing on buildings, and more specific, their walls. And documented how, in even the most carefully planned urban space, weather and human intervention inevitably leave their marks on buildings, and their walls. The result: abstract images that sometimes don’t even look like buildings at all, but more like a sheet of crumpled paper, lines painted on canvas, or a close-up of a sculpture.
