Koen van den Broek (born 1973) paints landscapes on the boundary of abstraction and urban outskirts, architectural details, cracks in asphalt, kerbstones, a straight road in perspective. He has recently become known for his Border Paintings , abstracts cropped from architecture, and for his collaborations with John Baldessari. Crack presents the first comprehensive selection of Van den Broek's work over the last ten years.
