Zuyderland became known in the 70s and 80s with various series about places where normally many people come, but in his work no one can see a person. It is alienating, unreal and at the same time there is a stillness in his paintings, drawings and graphics that appeals and is special. Well-known series by him are: Coney Island (New York), 'Metro stations' worldwide, 'Prison doors'. In the early 90s he produced a series of still lifes under the name 'Chinese still life'. On these, Chinese attributes were depicted with Chinese (language) characters. Where it did not concern serial work, his works could be called 'constructivist'. Zuyderland (1942-2019) studied at the Institute of Applied Arts Education in Amsterdam (predecessor of the later Gerrit Rietveld Academy). His work was included in various museum collections such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and found its way into many private and corporate collections worldwide.
