Életrajz

​

Linda Arts (1971, Hollandia) a holland folyóvidéken nőtt fel, de már hosszú évek óta az ország déli részén él és dolgozik. Műveit nemzetközi szinten is bemutatja. Többek között kiállított a De Pont Múzeumban (NL), a Museum van Bommel van Damban (NL), a Dum umění / The House of Artban (CZ), a SNO Contemporary Art Projects keretében Sydneyben (AUS), a Museum De Lakenhalban (NL) és a Museum Ludwig Forum für Aktuelle Kunstban (DE). Megbízásokat is teljesít kormányok, (művészeti) intézmények és magángyűjtők számára.

Arts elsősorban fekete-fehérben dolgozik, tudatosan korlátozva magát kevés motívumra. Ebben az absztrakt képi nyelvben találja meg saját terét. Festményeket, nyomatokat és nagyszabású, helyspecifikus installációkat hoz létre. Munkái a látható valóságot vonalak, fény és árnyék absztrakt világává alakítják, optikai illúziókat és mentális tereket idézve.

​

Minden egyes mű gondosan megtervezett és kivitelezett. Távolról a formák mintha mozognának, vagy a fal mögé húzódnának; közelről viszont láthatóvá válik a művész keze nyoma. A látszólagos tökéletességet felváltja a fókusz, az intuíció és a csendes figyelem. A finom tökéletlenségek személyes jelleget kölcsönöznek a munkáknak.

Ahogyan Hanneke de Man (De Pont Múzeum) megjegyzi, Arts munkáinak ereje a részletekben rejlik. Nyomatai és falfestményei szintén azt mutatják, mennyi jelentés rejlik a finomságban.

​

Alex de Vries publicista művészetét olyan optikai illúzióként írja le, amely kihívás elé állítja a nézőt: nem csupán arról van szó, amit látsz, hanem arról is, amit látni vélsz — ez arra ösztönöz, hogy közelebbről figyelj és mélyebben gondolkodj. Szerinte éppen ez a festészet lényege.
