Two Steps in the Wrong Direction #1 is part of a new series of paintings, in which Daan Roukens continues with his research into the in-between experience and how he can communicate this with the viewer. With Stumbling, he searches for the experience of that moment where one is almost falling, but manages to stay upright. A tension comparable to the in-between experience that Roukens is searching for. In his abstract self-portraits he paints the doubt and aims to make that tension visible and perceptible by means of patterns, color and abstraction.
