Galerie Fontana @ booth 71
We present new works by Vivian van Blerk, Ruud van Empel, Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil, Claudy Jongstra, Thijs Segers, Ghita Skali and Carolein Smit.
Galerie Fontana is pleased to present the works of the artist duo Feipel & Bechameil, Claudy Jongstra, and Ruud van Empel. We believe that the diverse mediums and artistic practices of the aforementioned names are exceptional examples of Dutch and Belgian talent in the space of sculpture, tapestry, and photography.
Feipel & Bechameil’s plaster and ceramic pieces are extraordinary in their ability to convey a striking and detached feeling, thus exhibiting a slightly dystopian and largely modernist worldview. Jongstra’s work is exemplary in highlighting local and ecological experiments, producing from her studio in Friesland and collaborating with local initiatives, it is notable that the artist magnifies a profound respect for the interwoven narratives of people, land, and tacit knowledge. Van Empel changed the face of digital fine art photography. His application of photomontage strives for a naturo-realist feel. Subtle image manipulations are applied to subjects which result in a great psychological effect, thus showing an incredible imagination.
