Eclectic Madness Landscape With Bath
By Arno CoenenIf there is one artist in the HNH collective who refuses to be pigeonholed, it’s our man Arno Coenen. In his opinion, a hotel is a place where we can escape reality and enjoy a better, more stimulating dimension. Obviously, Arno’s fantasy is as rich and wild as a rollercoaster ride in a hurricane. Not restricted by notions on style or artistic rules, Eclectic Madness is a reflection of Arno’s free spirit. Playful characters, colours, flowers, and shapes, all born in Coenen’s digital laboratory, invite guests to leave behind the blandness of everyday life and step into the eclectic madness that is Arno’s imagination.

About the designer
Arno Coenen has made a name for himself with creating personal art for public spaces. He mixes intricate digital graphic design with analog crafts such as glass mosaic. His being widely appreciated partly comes from creating his work together with local residents and other stakeholders. Coenen is not only fascinated by the rapid emergence of cultures from beyond national borders; subcultures, youth culture and pop culture are also prominent in his work. He prefers explosive phenomena such as hooliganism, heavy metal and the martial arts culture.
Coenen gained international fame with his contribution to De Markthal in Rotterdam. The immense colorful ceiling he made for this project appeared on the covers of both the Architecture in the Netherlands Yearbook and the Dutch Design Yearbook. He also made an important contribution to the Beurspassage in Amsterdam, reaching the top 3 of the Annual Review of NRC Handelsblad (our New York Times) Architecture.
His tile panel ‘Oud-West, Thuis Best’ is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and Coenen’s computer generated video animations have been acquired by renowned media-art collections, including the Centre Pompidou’s in Paris.
