Kasteel Nieuwenroy bei Oudheusden 

Roelant Roghman rendered Kasteel Nieuwenroy bei Oudheusden in a drawing using pen, brush and gray ink over graphite. The artwork emphasizes geometric forms and their arrangement. The castle, presented in muted tones, is rendered in a blend of rectangles, triangles, and precise lines. The surrounding water and landscape are depicted with softer, more fluid strokes. Roghman's strategic use of light and shadow gives depth and volume to the architecture. The overall composition creates a visual harmony, balancing the man-made structure with its natural environment. This work exemplifies structuralist principles of balance and order. The castle could be interpreted as a sign that is fixed in place, in contrast with the natural world that surrounds it. The drawing uses formal qualities to subtly explore ideas about space, permanence, and cultural representation. This piece invites us to consider how Roghman uses line, form, and composition to convey meaning.
