THE SWEET ESCAPE

Galerie Nasty Alice is pleased to announce The Sweet Escape, a duo exhibition by Liesbeth Bijkerk and Tanya Janssen.

Liesbeth Bijkerk’s works can be seen as traces of memories. The inspiration may be something she has seen, read, or heard. It may be a personal experience, but also the work of others. After these things have occupied her thoughts for a while, they become mental impressions without tangible form, detached from sensory experiences. With these kinds of impressions, Bijkerk composes independent images, far removed from everything that surrounds us in everyday life.

Tanya Janssen’s paintings reflect her fascination with the relationship between humans and nature. Weeds play a prominent role in her work. With this, Janssen shows the vulnerability and transience of human dominance over nature. Janssen also experiments with conceptual images that are created with the help of artificial intelligence. Her work in the world of AI is a quest for the essence of what it means to be an artist in the 21st century.
