ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kirsten van den Bogaard, was born in Hamburg in 1963. She was trained by her artistic family. The artist currently resides and works in Cologne. Her works are a subtle interaction between photography and painting, as the artists initially captures daily life situations with her camera, in order to paint these motifs on aluminum platters afterwards. Therefore, van den Bogaard painterly documents people on the move on the basis of photographic observations. The works sometimes require a more thorough look to realise that they are no photographs, but painted unique copies. The protagonists in these works are extracted from their original context, which enables one to develop an individual interpretation of the stories behind the pictures. At the same time, the spectator becomes part of the works, since he or she is mirrored in the shiny material. The freedom of emotions and interpretation, as well as the moment of discovery make the works of van den Bogaard very fascinating.
