Today’s artists are:

Geert Oosterhof (see picture above): “I like surrealism. In my work I search for images that communicate something internal, something that people are equal. By simply start drawing- painting the images are created. I work from a sort of automatism. Other times I work from a vision, or an image from a dream. I want to suprise the audience. I do this by surprising myself.” Check out his blog here.

Lisette Huijsmans – “When looking at Lisetteh’s  work one becomes part of a process, of an ongoing experiment. Her  drawings, installations, paintings, assemblages and etchings  are never finished. They are the start of something new, or might, for a moment,  furnish a complete picture in the viewer’s experience. It is not a fixed and final world she creates, on the contrary, it is a dynamic and flexible one.  Here unexpected meetings take place. Contrasting elements are gathering around to present the spectator an image that is both macabre and comic. They  reflect an absurd reality wherein definitions always have to be reconsidered, cleared from past luggage. Maybe that is why Lisetteh likes to collect lost materials; to give it a second chance. To construct new images out of them. By doing so, she disconnects sign from material. She creates images by deconstructing the original meaning of the material and, with it, opens up a new world, full of unforeseen  possibilities. She offers  the spectator an opportunity to see things in new perspectives and to value the open end.” Check out her website here.
