Now at the art rental: Danne Bouman & Sanne Boswijk - Beeldrijm
About this activity.
Starting 20 November, Kunstpunt Groningen presents BEELDRIJM, a duo exhibition featuring artists Danne Bouman and Sanne Boswijk. Both artists graduated this year from Academie Minerva and meet in this exhibition at the intersection of classical visual language and a contemporary perspective.
From their own distinct styles and approaches, they translate familiar themes from art history into contemporary works. Danne intimately challenges the idealised image of the body, while Sanne offers a playful provocation on the human condition, painting, and the role of the artist.
Sanne explains: “This way, a loosely interwoven two-voiced image emerges, making tasteful use of recognisable visual language from (art) history.”
Danne explores in her paintings the tension between desire and distance. She examines how we, as humans, constantly search for connection while also facing loneliness. Her work moves between body and landscape, between openness and concealment.
Sanne plays with ideas in visual form. She works with a wide range of materials – from paint and glass to photography, tape, and LED light – creating vividly illuminated compositions full of humour and underlying seriousness. Her work balances between the recognisable and the elusive. For BEELDRIJM, she selected works that relate thematically or visually to Danne’s paintings. Some pieces were even made specifically in response to them.“In the interplay between our works, I look for connection, humour, and tension,” Sanne explains.

About the Artists
Danne Bouman (2003) graduated from Academie Minerva in 2025 and also studied at the Classical Academy. Combining her knowledge of traditional painting techniques with a fascination for contemporary art, she brings together two worlds. Her intimate, bodily images turn the viewer into a voyeur and invite reflection on the complexity of perception itself.
Sanne Boswijk (1979) also graduated this year from Academie Minerva. She describes her practice as a visual experiment: in her studio, she explores how ideas can be translated into image. Working with a wide variety of media, she combines her own creations with found objects. The results are playful parodies, provocative gestures with a wink – or a candy shop from another planet – but always beautiful, of course.
