About this artwork
In Intrusion, I explore the moment when an ordered pictorial field is disrupted by an unexpected figurative presence. Horizontal lines and soft gradients initially create a calm, almost abstract space. From the right, however, a sculptural form enters the picture: a bronze depiction of Pan by Christophe Charbonnel.
I am interested in the tension between abstraction and figuration. The smooth, repetitive structure of the background clashes with… the material, organic presence of the sculpture. Light simultaneously connects and separates: parts of the figure disappear into shadow, while individual highlights reveal its weight and physicality.
The title alludes to this ambivalence. Does the figure penetrate the picture plane—or is it constrained by the order of the space? The photograph does not resolve this tension, but rather leaves it open. It moves between still life, abstraction, and spatial study.

Marcel van Beek works with photography, painting, and graphic design, drawing on his artistic background from his studies at the Alanus University of Art and Social Sciences. His technique combines pictorialist influences with romantic-symbolist imagery. His photographs embody contemporary fine art photography and conceptual photography, often featuring monochrome recolors in tertiary colors.
He creates a poetic visual language interested in forms and structures, combining this with a modern, conceptual approach that claims social relevance. In his works, he explores inner and outer landscapes, conveying feelings of longing and threat, as well as a fascination with the hidden. He has published various art publications (most recently "World of Water," 2025), which are represented internationally in academy and museum libraries (including Vienna, Basel, Düsseldorf, and Berlin).
