Hanneline Visnes

HannelineVisnes is known for her breathtakingly intricate, highly crafted drawings and paintings which often employ repetitive floral patterns reminiscent of Persian tiles and entangles them with heraldic, religious and memento mori iconography such as skulls, eyes, feathers and candles. It is these enigmatic motifs alongside the abandonment of the single-point perspective that produce fantastical portals and scenarios full of contradictions, doubt and fragility inviting the viewer to question the symbolism and to develop narratives in their own mind.

dazzle camouflage

A dazzle-painted ship was like an enormous cubist painting with great sheets of ultramarine blue, black, and green, sometimes parallel but more often with sharp corners cleaving into one another, and although you don’t quite make it out, you can divine a reason, a plan, a guiding principle, a scheme.

Marjolijn de Wit

In de landschappen van Marjolijn de Wit (1979) is sprake van een eigen ordening van delen uit het landschap. Haar contact met de realiteit loopt via verschillende herkenbare elementen, vergelijkbaar met de z.g. figuratieve landschappen die in de traditie van de 19de eeuw steeds werden opgebouwd met duidelijk herkenbare, aan het natuurbeeld van vroegere generaties ontleende, elementen.
Echter, doordat De Wit deze losse elementen op een collageachtige manier bij elkaar plaatst en speelt met uitvergrotingen en schaduwpartijen, creëert zij een eigen landschap wat vertrouwdheid en vervreemding tegelijkertijd oproept, zonder het contact met de natuur te verliezen. Integendeel, haar nieuwe wijze van observeren en ordenen geeft een overtuigende voorstelling van de natuur, alsof we opnieuw aan het begin van de schepping staan. Zonder te vervallen in extatische natuurmystiek, weerspiegelt zich in haar landschappen het macrokosmische in het microkosmische.

Thoralf Knobloch

Knobloch works directly from carefully composed photographs, exploring the process by which reality is transformed into image through the material process of painting. He is particularly interested in the way in which painting ultimately involves turning experienced reality into constructed abstraction through the framing of the subject, the transference of photographic composition onto canvas

Guillaume Linard

Guillaume Linard, jeune artiste issu de l’École Boulle en 2002, vit et travaille à Paris. Plutôt déformé que formé aux métiers du design et de l’architecture, il cherche depuis quelques années à en bousculer les pratiques pour nourrir une démarche artistique énergique et réactive. Questionnant notre rapport aux objets, et plus largement notre rapport au monde via les objets, ses propositions s’accompagnent d’une pensée insolente et décomplexée envers les usages et les catégories laissent entrevoir un comportement simultanément revendicatif et détendu.

Bij toeval gisteren gevonden, nog meer putdeksels en veel doorverwijzingen op de site

Like shields, slowly polished by traffic and sunshine
they glow silently and show us the color of sky,
these who cover the access to the deep dark
to where we send what has to desapear of (our) life.

Slawomir Elsner

Slawomir Elsner’s pictures are based on photographs. Organized in series, they give unsystematic treatment to highly varied thematic domains which are always situated at the interface between the public and the personal. Elsner’s painting transforms the collective element into a succinct and personal visual language, without renouncing communal referentiality.

Myriam Bâ

Créer un espace, une construction, une réalité…
Jusqu'ici j'ai essentiellement utilisé la peinture pour la mise en forme de mes idées. Aujourd'hui j'ai besoin d'élargir mon champ d'action. Planter ces éléments picturaux dans un espace tridimensionnel. Une installation. Il s'agit de "mise en abîme" de juxtaposition, d'images, de mots, d'objets, de volume, de son. Une mise en scène. C'est là un travail déjà engagé il y a plusieurs mois avec Aleksandra Plavsic. Nous construisons ensemble un univers, nous créons même un personnage, son histoire. Nous l'appelons " la femme du nord ". Nous y mettons nos intentions, nous y mêlons nos réflexions et notre travail. Pour Aleksandra c'est la musique et le son, quant à moi la peinture et le dessin, il arrive parfois que l'ordre change, elle la peinture et moi le son.

the work of Charles and Ray Eames

een aardige overzichtssite over leven en werken van :

Charles Eames (1907-78) and Ray Eames (1912-88) gave shape to America's twentieth century.
The Eameses embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country.

Geneviève Favre

Les performances de Geneviève Favre sont écrites à partir d'associations de mots, de couleurs, d'occupation de l'espace et de relation avec le public. Personnage charismatique, elle joue avec la notion de représentation scénique, tant sur le mode de l'actrice que de la chanteuse. Son inspiration est basée sur le principe de la narration, une poésie mentale qui s'approprie des fragments de la culture classique et populaire.
