Garden of Resonance

Like nature and the universe transform, Jan Koen Lomans turns his Studio JKL into an interdisciplinary studio. Because Lomans does not believe in working from ego. To him design has actually always been an interdisciplinary collaboration between him, craftsmen, artists, designers, technicians and scientists. A collaboration that is often created through coincidence and without preconceived notions.

In a rapidly changing world where progressive insight and scientific discovery are in quick succession, it is exactly close collaboration that shapes the future, according to Lomans. 

To him those interesting collaborations are even a necessity to transform his innovative ideas into extraordinary art work and installations. Work that contains his fascination with the cosmos, natural phenomena, the various stages of life and death within the universe – such as birth, reincarnation, transition and transience. 

Already from an early age Jan Koen Lomans has wondered about the complexity of nature, how vast and yet invisibly small it is at the same time, and how we relate to the most wonderful natural phenomena. What are mysterious and abstract themes to most, he depicts and renders in various ways, into tangible and comprehensible installations. He does not only offer a sacred place to the natural phenomena, he simultaneously creates a tranquil environment, leaving room for the viewer for wonderment and contemplation.
