Different Dimensions
Marja Hagenauw and Yara de Kok
February 4 to March 2
Opening: February 4, at 5 pm
Marja Hagenauw has a fascination for architecture, buildings, and spaces. She loves the city and moving through it without purpose and map. For hours she wanders through big cities like Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Beirut, Tehran, New York. "Not only through streets and alleys, past fountains and through parks, but also through residential areas, industrial zones, desolate places and abandoned buildings." What she sees during these wanderings inspires her paintings and drawings. Her works come about as she wanders through cities: never knowing beforehand what they will look like.
Marja completed Art Academy Minerva in Groningen in 2012, in Fine Art. She has been working from her studio in the Biotoop in Haren since 2014.
Yara de Kok works from her affection and fascination for architecture. She derives inspiration from time spent in South America. Her research starts with photography. To these photographs she adds collage and painting techniques, resulting in new images. In these images, Yara plays with the tension between reality and surreality. "In places created by humans, I look for accidental beauties such as incidence of light, reflections or contrasts in shapes and materials. I provide landmarks in my work, which are complemented by the viewer's imagination."
Yara graduated from HKU in 2017, in Fine Art & Design in Education. She currently lives and works in Utrecht, where she is both artist and art educator.
