“It takes a great deal of sorrow to create pure joy. True joy is not simply a concentration of small pleasures.”

Netty van Osch

Netty van Osch (Netherlands, 1962)

Netty van Osch plays with words, images, and raw emotions.
Through a disconcerting combination of sweetness, humor, and grim venom, she seeks to challenge the viewer’s preconceptions and create space for her narrative.

Her work draws inspiration directly from the source: the artist’s life experiences. For her, the installations form the heart of her work. Her sculptures are pawns, accomplices she places on the playing field of such installations, helping her tell a story of conflict and reconciliation.

Galina s. Lorentzen

Galina S. Lorentzen( Living and working in Norway, Born in Russia 1967)
I obtain my inspiration from various travel experiences and the beauty of the world around me.
Nature is my biggest source of inspiration, with its large chard and variety of shapes, textures and colors, flora and fauna. I want to recreate this in my works. I focus on bringing out different patterns, often on a macro level, with light transitions, and a wide color palette that nature is rich in. With the help of motifs, shapes, lines and imagination, I try to evoke associations and a sense of balance, joy and inner wholeness. I use batik on silk and watercolor as my medium, with properties such as airiness, flow and transparency. The silk can be reminiscent of flower petals or butterfly wings, and is in itself a reflection of what I am inspired by.

Maria Smits

Since the beginning of my career in the 1980s, the artist Joseph Beuys and his work have played a significant role in the development of my own practice. His vision, however elusive it may be, inspires me to find my own voice. In the role of his “sparring partner,” he challenges and sharpens me, pushing me to take a stance in uncovering the essence of what intrigues me.

Ineke van Harten

Looking at Ineke van Harten’s work means looking at abstract paintings with thickly applied paint. She builds the layers in her paintings using various techniques with brushes and spatulas. By scratching into the layers, marks are created. These marks don’t necessarily carry any specific meaning on their own. She refers to her paintings as “inner landscapes.”

Francisca Henneman

 

She creates objects reminiscent of deep-sea organisms. In doing so, she uses colorful, flexible plastics in an uncanny way to craft objects and jewelry.

Marjoke van Kamp

Lately, she has been working primarily with scrap wood, diving into every construction dumpster she comes across. From this wood, she creates objects: “tiny houses,” floor plans (of the homes she has lived in throughout her life, including in Germany), and more recently, some 3D work. The colors are muted—what she calls the “DDR palette” (a small legacy from her German adventure)—or monochromatic.

 

Linda Biemans

Sculpting is her passion. She works with materials such as marble, bronze, and wood. For her, it is about polishing the roughness, bringing order to chaos. Her body of work is a tribute to life itself.

Alex Verduijn den Boer

 

He primarily paints and draws from observation. In The Hague and Spain, he is often found at interesting locations creating works on-site. In addition to landscapes and cityscapes, he also creates portraits.

Sibyl Heijnen

Every drawing or sculpture alters the space it inhabits. This happens on a large scale when Sibyl is given the opportunity to fill an entire wall or space, as she has demonstrated in Japan, Venice, and various locations in the Netherlands. Sibyl works with a wide variety of materials.

Hans works with projects. His work often consists of large paintings, heavily layered with a unique color palette. Examples include: the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, the Rembrandt House, Beuys, and “Through the Eyes of Monet.”
