BAROCCO
This group exhibition features work by three artists who, consciously or unconsciously, refer to the Baroque in their work. Characteristic of the Baroque style is the use of unnecessary details, excess and exuberance. Just like the work of the three exhibiting artists, the Baroque is also characterized by dynamic structures and moving plastic forms.
BAROCCO, a group exhibition by Eva Krause, Anouk Bax and Hanneke Giezen.
Eva Krause knows how to immediately capture the viewer with her unique representations. The artist subtly uses her own rules to give her own interpretation to the art movements of realism, surrealism and abstract art and occupies a unique space within them. There is a fascination with the grotesque, absurd and petulant, but it is never completely clear, so you start guessing and interpreting it before you know it.

Anouk Bax (1977), lives and works in Eindhoven. Bax searches for the magic of the image that emerges. She loves the physical action and hits and knocks on paper with brushes or gropes the image with chalk. Drawings also require a physical approach from the viewer. You soon automatically take a step towards the paper to look at the work up close. The act of drawing is often repetitive, it sometimes resembles an incantation. The structures this creates add a mental layer to Bax’s realistic imagery.

Hanneke Giezen makes objects made of porcelain that provide a glimpse of the future evolution of various animal species. She lets her imagination run wild and fantasizes about what the world can look like and how some animals have adapted. Inspired by drawings of monsters from the Middle Ages, where explorers discovered new land and tried to capture unknown animals. Her ceramic works are about beautiful and ugly, good and bad taste and everything that goes with it. Giezen is inspired by the shapes from the Baroque and Rococo.
