The impact of the complexity in everyday life is the central theme in Lenneke van der Goot's work. She references the many ways we connect with our immediate surroundings, as well as with thoughts, memories, sounds, or (digital) parallel worlds that reach us through screens. Do these different influences interact? Is there a symbiosis, or do they repel one another? Can any order be found in the chaos?

Lenneke van der Goot’s drawings, murals, and installations capture the dynamics and complexity of these themes. In her work, she aims to capture a single moment, a point of stillness, as if the situation could shift to a new image at any second. Through carefully chosen layers, playing with light and depth, she explores the boundary between real and unreal, leaving the viewer questioning what they see. The spaces she creates may seem accessible, but they provide no sense of stability. Sometimes rendered in black and white, at other times colourful and vibrant, they are inhabited by multifaceted objects, precarious structures, stacks, patterns, or planets. These elements serve as carriers of processes, reflecting chaos, structure, and the act of losing one’s way.

By using lithography, Lenneke van der Goot incorporates a graphic flat-printing technique that has fallen out of common use since the invention of the photocopier. This labour-intensive, centuries-old printing method stands in stark contrast to the fast, disposable images of today. She uses stone printing, traditionally intended for creating editions, to produce unique works that serve as foundations or combine to form larger, composite pieces.
