NEWBEEZZZ

Global warming is welcoming new species into our urban gardens. We live among them, but who are these newcomers and what do they pursuit?

NEWBEEZZZ - NOCTURAMA Embracing the unknown β€” Β© Steffie Padmos illustrator x Paul Peters architect

NEWBEEZZZ - NOCTURAMA a co-creation of illustrator Steffie Padmos and architect Paul Peters, where surreal proportions disrupt our perceptions and point of view, with the intention to lure in the observer and have them discover the beauty in the unknown.

NEWBEEZZZ - NOCTURAMA Embracing the unknown

Nocturama, once the name for the dark shelters of nocturnal animals – here becomes a sanctuary for newcomers.
In this co-exhibition illustrator Steffie Padmos and architect Paul Peters create a realm where you might not feel naturally at ease. The interaction of both night crawlers and architectural constructions shaped by natural evolution, create a bizarre setting where surreal proportions disrupt our perceptions and point of view. The intention of the designers is to lure in the observer and mesmerise with the beauty of these natural creatures. Discover the unknown and embrace the new.

About Steffie Padmos illustrator

A background in art and a fascination for the natural world steered Steffie towards a MA in Scientific Illustration, in the footsteps of Maria Sybilla Merian and Ernst Haeckel. Her evolution as an artist is evident as she explores a more contemporary approach that maintains it’s reverence for scientific subject matter.

Paul Peters is an Eindhoven-based architect who works on small to medium-scale projects, while also creating autonomous objects: sometimes as a study, sometimes as a sculpture.
