The Dutch artist is known for his \u201cNimbus\u201d series, in which he creates perfect, fluffy clouds in unique indoor spaces: churches, castles, dungeons, and most recently, in honor of Frieze New York, <span class=\"s2\">NeueHouse<\/span> on 25th Street. The only lasting memory of his series is singular photograph\u2014the perfect picture of the cloud in that space\u2014which Smilde and his team work endlessly to capture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He loved the duality of bringing something outdoor, indoor, as well as the duality of clouds themselves. \u201cThey can, for example, stand for the divine but also for something threatening or misfortunate,\u201d he said. \u201cClouds are something really universal.
