I found a new muse, the Carlton Hotel in Amsterdam. I’m looking for something, I don’t know what yet, but I’m keeping my promise of one drawing a week to figure out what exactly I want from my own art. This is a sort of return to my roots - architectural collages. #carltonhotelamsterdam #collage #mauricenoble #artisticresearch #process #gouache #indianink #onedrawingaweek https://www.instagram.com/p/B5CfiHxl_Zk/?igshid=1w0loafnmcv26

Still going on with my art research, today I painted the passageway under the Carlton Hotel. This time it isn’t Peter Lorre but me crawling around, looking for something I can’t quite put my finger on. #carltonhotelamsterdam #artisticresearch #me #crawlingaround #staedtler #gouache #artdeco #surrealart https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lT2jzlcH4/?igshid=ygosaeiti5ca

Everything about the Carlton Hotel is very angular, and the statues are very typical for the period. There’s something about Art Deco, especially the Dutch version, that is very sinister to me. Most of the statues here are also highly symbolic, but symbols of what? #drawingresearch #artdeco #carltonhotelamsterdam #inkbrushpen #ecolinebrushpen #pencil https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XBw1zFlzf/?igshid=1n10vufzdh0n3
