Project 2.0 / Gallery

After being on show at AAF Berlin, works of Lisanne Hoogerwerf have made their way back and are currently on show in the gallery. This includes a selection of video work, lightboxes, as well as fine art prints. Come and see the breadth of Lisanne’s idiosyncratic work, in which she creates surreal dreamworlds from handmade miniatures.

Lisanne Hoogerwerf (1987) graduated at the Royal Academy of Art in 2011 and lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands. The artworks of Lisanne Hoogerwerf depict real-unreal places: places that you can’t find in ordinary reality, but that are made with real materials like pieces of wood, sand, glue, and painted canvas. She creates her art as a way to visualise inner and outer human landscapes. Working mainly from imagination, she wants to lay hold on an archetypal language.

Her studio floor functions as a stage upon which she builds, captures, and deconstructs her landscapes. With her scenes, she sometimes refer to global developments, like the pandemic, the climate crisis and environmental issues. The scenes are emptied of the hustle and bustle of everyday life: no traffic or crowded cityscapes to be seen. Contrasting characteristics and elements can be linked to her work, for example: utopian/dystopian, playfulness/seriousness, society/nature, beauty/drabness.

NEW ARTIST / We are excited to announce that Berlin-based painter Christian August is now represented by Project 2.0 / Gallery.

Christian August works at the threshold between worlds. His paintings locate themselves in ecosystems that exist nowhere precisely, and August navigates this path within an abstract expressionist approach. His landscapes are imbued with memory and imagination, exuding an inviting and dreamy charm that is both recognisable and alien.

A selection of works can currently be seen at Project 2.0 / Gallery.

KunstRAI has begun! We had a very vibey opening with Linda Overzee present, and it looks to be a wonderful few days at the fair.

The fair is open from Thursday to Sunday, 11:00 to 18:00, with an Artist Night from 17:00 to 21:00 on Friday night. Be sure to see the fresco-on-linen works of Linda Overzee at Stand 7.
