Studio visit Lisanne Hoogerwerf
Hélène Mulder meets visual artist Lisanne Hoogerwerf in her atelier in The Hague, The Netherlands. Creators Chambers portrays exceptional creatives with feature articles, film and photography, offering them an extra channel to strengthen their online presence. A digital collective, founded to inspire you with their stories, to connect with their audience and sell their work.
The artworks of Lisanne Hoogerwerf depict real - unreal places: places that you can’t find in ordinary reality, but that are made with real materials like pieces of wood, sand, glue, and painted canvas. She creates her art as a way to visualise inner and outer human landscapes. Working mainly from imagination, she wants to lay hold on an archetypal language.
Hoogerwerfs studio floor functions as a stage upon which she build, capture, and deconstruct her landscapes. With her scenes, she often refers to global developments, like the pandemic, the climate crisis and environmental issues. The scenes are emptied of the hustle and bustle of everyday life: no traffic or crowded cityscapes to be seen. Contrasting characteristics and elements can be linked to her work, such as: utopian/dystopian, playfulness/seriousness, society/nature, beauty/drabness.
