Ola Lanko. Watching
1985 Ukraine
Ola has experience with many camera’s, perhaps by being a photojournalist for a period. The educational background shifts from art towards sociology, a degree, to photojournalism and back to art again. You can see this process in the work presented.
Her photography grows to be more experimental after a switch of education after two years at the Royal Academy of Den Hague (KABK) to the Gerrit Rietveld academy.
Tariq Heijboer. Nuwaiba'
1991 The Netherlands
Tariq has a large field of interest. His works include a range from paintings, drawings, photographs and collages. His personal interest and previous education of design made the artist look towards abstracts and relation inside his works. Tariq is looking for this perfect point and his works can vary in result but share his authenticity.
Sara Stenderup Glahn. Besides them, me
Denmark
Sara first introduced her series of ‘youngsters’ to the Ukrop team, after a investigation of her works we stumbled upon a small booklet made by Sara. Immediately it was unanimously decided to be right for this exhibition.
Words from the artist:
“Besides them, me”
location: Roskilde Festival, Denmark, summer 2008
I had already decided that it should not be a project about the music and the concerts, but about the sensation of being able to feel alone and isolated while being surrounded by thousands of people with the same interest as you.
I keep attending this festival year by year, and I can’t remake these photographs, I will not even try to. I figured out how I feel and I processed it into this book. So it’s a done job. Let me know how you feel about it.
Inga Erdmane. 8th of March
Latvia
Inga her experimental work within the realm of photography and video show a great expertise and knowledge of material. When using the unexpected Inga manages to amaze the viewer with the result and finish. Within this frame of illusion and reality the artist makes it hard to make a distinction to where her work ends and where it begins and by that how to place it. Some might see this as a difficulty, but others and her peers praise this fact.
Lyubov Matyunina. Still dead
1985 Russia
Lyubov brings the joy of life into her work, her paintings, drawings and video. She often uses an anarchistic approach, if such a thing is possible, but playfully works with a serious undertone. The artist is currently enrolled at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
Miglė Kazlauskaitė. Beachbabes
1991 Lithuania
Migle has an absolute eye for perfection not many have, meticulous in her works to such a level she does not need to make larger works. Despite the fact she knows how, the artist is able to use her academic style and work on a smaller scale. Interested in design and the manufacturing processes of various crafts the artist is now enrolled at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
Jevgenija Ovsianikova. "Little bird" extract from a book
1988 Lithuania
Exploding with minuscule detail the works of Jevgenija contain depictions of her stories and feelings. In a storm the artist takes you on a journey wandering and wondering
Jevgenija is enrolled at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
Tiberius Sanders. Black and White
1990 The Netherlands
Tiberius has a very raw approach to art. Hanging his works in ways others would make a suggestion to pin it straight for him, already surpassing the thought it was mend to be like this. His works for the exhibition are a few of a large series he made on the same subject. The contrast the artists wants to show in `black and white’ is also much about the rebellious nature of his character. Tiber studies fine art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague.
Rein Sanders. Faces of (un)free
1986 Netherlands
A lifelong witness of the works of his father (Willem Sanders) Rein learned many basic techniques in drawing, painting, history and philosophy. Living and working together with his brother Tiberius Sanders (1990) in Amsterdam. His work defines freedom and often form an experiment itself.
Stijn van Kervel. Gun rules by three shells
1987 The Netherlands
Stijn sees pure form, his way of treating art is often based on isolating pure form. Repetition and patterns show his architectural background and interest. The artist is now looking forward to experimenting in different fields of art, broadening his horizon. The work ‘Gun ruled by three shells (2011)‘, a photogram, is one of the first examples of a new experimental direction for the artist himself abandoning his comfort zone.
Stijn is a student at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
Alexander Höglund. Fantastic Future I
1984 Sweden
Höglunds perfect politician in ‘Fantastic Future I (2011)’ embodies the complex phenomenon of a somehow impossible wish or demand. The work is actually a printed photograph of many printed photographs revealing a layered structure returning to the enigmatic starting point.
Word of the artist: The project touches upon the subject of identity by creating an emptyshell or an ”idea” of the leader we all need!? Irony, humour, economics, identity and political history create the basic foundation for this
work and the part shown above.
Konstantin Guz’
1983 Russia
Konstantin Guz’ continues the Russian tradition in abstract photography. Auto-didactic but recently enrolled at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam to further sharpen his view and develop more in the various forms of the arts in general.
Tariq Heijboer. Reflection
Jevgenija Ovsianikova. Mindfuck
Ania Drupka. Identity
1985 Poland
Without fear Ania does not make any concessions, her works are such embodiments of thought and statement that often they can only be presented in a direction action from herself or literally herself. Strong but still elegant. A simple every day observation but an incredible train of thought, a twist and a stab towards present day normality.
Migle Kazlauskaite. Auga
