Dennis Konijnenburg is an autodidactic artist. In the late nineties he started out photographing jazz artists and developing a strong preference for shooting black and white, which never left him. In shooting jazz artists his focus has always been on capturing that one moment of silence within the dynamic and energy of the performance. Some years later his search led him to the urban landscape, leading him to discover and explire the tension between geometric shapes and lines which make up the texture of the city and its inhabitants. Lines and textures from the stage for the dynamic performance which takes place every day on the streets. Making the switch to the studio led him to more graphic and modernist works as seen in the latest serie Abstract City and his work with photograms.
