Nero pen drawing with collage - In a box including artist's book // Short Stories by Marcel van Eeden, created in 2017, is a mixed media work featuring a Nero pen drawing combined with collage elements. The piece, characterized by its dark, moody tones, depicts a landscape with silhouetted trees and buildings, evoking a sense of mystery and nostalgia. The inclusion of a collage fragment—a typed auction detail dated May 25, 1910—adds a historical dimension, intertwining past events with the present artistic interpretation. Van Eeden’s style, often focused on reinterpreting images from before his birth in 1965, explores memory and narrative through the juxtaposition of text and imagery. This artwork, presented in a box alongside an artist's book, reflects his fascination with storytelling and the passing of time.
