Monumental Landscape
About this activity.
Janke de Vries
Monumental Landscape
September 2 to 28
Opening: Sunday, September 3, 4:00 p.m.
Both the structure and the monumental character of the landscape characterize the art of Janke de Vries. From a very early age she was captivated by the landscape of the Wadden Sea. She later also found her inspiration in Scotland, Malta, Iceland and close to home.
Photography is a defining feature of her work. For her it is about looking, waiting for the right moment, registering. She loves developing and printing herself. Over time she explored several possibilities of different techniques. Especially when a "mistake" occurs, she experiences this as a beautiful starting point.
In Galerie Noord she shows color photographs, polaroid paintings and wall reliefs. She combines chemistry with acrylic paint and uses pieces of rust from Murmansk and sandstone powder from Malta. The shape of the objects found on location recurs again and again, ultimately forming a new contribution to the Monumental Landscape.
Janke will be present on 10, 16, 20 and 27 September.
Galerie Noord.
Galerie Noord is een expositieruimte in hartje Groningen. Vierwekelijks bieden we kunstenaars uit het Noorden de mogelijkheid recent werk te tonen, solo of in kleine groepen. Galerie Noord richt zich op autonoom, experimenteel en onderzoekend werk in vrijwel alle disciplines. We willen bezoekers verrassen door tentoonstellingen te bieden met een wisselend karakter.
Galerie Noord wordt volledig gerund door vrijwilligers. In 1997 werd de galerie opgericht als kunstenaarsinitiatief.
