About this artwork
"Crooked Alley" is my take on a decision that can't be made from a distance. The path bends, tightly guided by crumbling masonry and a rough wall that registers every touch. The uneven slats of the fence draw an uncertain grid against the sky; below, the pavement and gutter grope for direction like old veins. Nothing invites; everything draws – quietly, insistently.
In the "Labyrinth" series, I search for the nameless behind walls and corners. "Crooked… Alley" captures the moment when certainty ends: around the bend, a story begins that I don't yet know. The sepia tone takes the noise of the present away from the scene and lets the surface speak: scratches, edges, traces. I don't want to soothe the feeling of being lost, only accompany it—until it tips over in anticipation. The alley is not a passageway, it is a question. I offer no view, only the curve. Beyond it lies what is waiting to be discovered—or what will make us disappear again.

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).
