Julia Kiryanova (1997, Kazakhstan) makes large tapestries in which she develops a personal symbolism. In her mythical landscapes, naked humans and fabled creatures appear, some half animal, half human, that work together or fight each other. Kiryanova who is often present herself in the tapestries also engages in performances with others, naked and body painted, in which she expresses vulnerability, sensuality and spirituality.
Lotte van Lieshout (1978) works in her paintings from a very personal perspective which can be understood as a chronicle of her life and her artistry. Many of the paintings she is showing now were created during a stay this summer in the guest studio of the Vincent Van Goghhuis in which her work refers to Van Gogh’s world.
