Description
Gebouw A at Sunset – Radio Kootwijk
60 x 80 cm, oil on panel (palette knife)
A love letter to a landmark, Gebouw A at Sunset captures the old radio building in Radio Kootwijk as it bathes in the last light of day. Painted with palette knife, the thick textures echo the building’s age — chipped, stoic, and quietly magnificent. The white concrete walls soak up the colours of the sky like memories held in stone: deep violets, rust-golds, and silent blues. Just down the road from the artist’s home, this national monument is more than architecture — it’s a keeper of stories, both grand and forgotten. Here, it stands humbled and glorious at once, hiccuping into old age, dignified by time and light. The painting is not only a portrait of place, but of reverence — for what endures, for what fades, and for what we come to know only through stillness.

- Gebouw A at Sunset – Radio Kootwijk captures the moment when architecture yields to light. As the sun lowers, the monumental form of Gebouw A softens, its severity eased by warmth and atmosphere. What remains is presence rather than power. Painted in oil with measured control, the work balances mass and luminosity. Broad planes of structure are held in calm dialogue with subtle shifts of colour and tone. Light does not dramatise the building, but reveals it slowly, allowing its rhythm and proportion to settle into view. This painting reflects Leone Tonkinson’s sensitivity to architecture as a living witness to time and landscape. Set within Radio Kootwijk, Gebouw A at Sunset becomes both landmark and meditation, a meeting point between human intention and the quiet persistence of light.
