Art & project space for artists

This artist researches architecture and urban planning and approaches these from a wide variety of media: photographic series, sculpture and scale models, video and drawing.

This artist brings an underlying process-relatedness into the spotlight, she shows us that spaces are made by people and that they have a form in which ideas are stored.

This artist is interested in mythology, magic realism, transformation and the intertwinement of man and nature.

Robin Speijer’s work focuses on a combination of color, light and textures. At first glance, the subject seems to be the many forms of fabric.

Literally everything becomes art in Koos Buster Stroucken's (1991, the Netherlands) jubilantly tactile world.

As a commercial diver and underwater photographer based at the Underwater Stage at Pinewood Studios, the only facility of its kind in the world. She specializes in behind-the-scenes underwater stills and video for feature films, TV and commercials.

My work talks about humanity. I create imaginary worlds that correspond to the world I live in. I observe the movement and emotion of life by taking the image and colour of the people and surroundings that I see and hear. To use to make my art and harmony, peace and love.

Trained as a painter and a sculptor his unusual sculptures are of rare complexity and beauty. He incorporates self-portraits in many of the works, which have something of a renaissance quality to them, yet borrow also from Giacometti and other modern masters.

Dutch artist who designs 100% natural fashion knitwear and home textiles that are visually inspired by the diversity of nature, and produced with the mentality that what humans make must remain in balance with what nature makes

Drawings that depict almost the very nature of liquids and color.

It is interesting to present photo graphical work surrounding Senegal, where many people have mixed identities and shared their personal stories. Africa and belonging - not just a concept.

When transition meets beauty in a clear and obvious form, art transcends the concept of state and matter.

We live in a time, place, economic structure that approves the having and satisfaction of desire. The material desire, the sexual desire. But desire is complicated. Approving of desire opens for the possibility of absolute liberation, an at the same time, absolute destruction. And beyond this love, not even remotely less complicated.

Jimmy’s dream has always been to create awareness about our world’s indigenous cultures through his photography. He has wanted to create a visual document that shows us and future generations the beauty of how they live.

Contemporary German artist with a dedication to form as a method of function and design.

People need stories and images in order to create order within the world's chaos. She regards the world as a ready-made film set for her observations.

In his work Ellert investigates a vigorous language of forms whose origins lie not in aesthetics, but in the urge to survive, from which it derives its beauty.

Working independently though creating his own images in his studio in the countryside near the city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Nicolai’s work consists of a wide selection of editorial images for fashion campaigns as well as portraits.

A fascination with Chinese culture led this painter to move to Shanghai, where he began to synthesize traditional Chinese visual vocabularies with European painting.

She expresses her admiration for the black woman. She places her at the center in large collages.

A contemporary artist whose paintings are at the gates of abstraction, placed somewhere between beauty, order, and chaos.

Her works consists of objects, installations, spatial conquests, photos, drawings, texts and sounds. I use a great variety of materials, however they are often fragile, soft and light (paper, textile, leather, oilcloth, stamps, maps..)

Again and again searching for exactly the right line, the completely successful spot. Day in day out the almost obsessive search for optimum intensity in image and meaning. And then you have the drawing; A kind of laconic hit, loosely spotted intensity or wall-filling miniatures. It worked.
