Galerie Ramakers presents a duo exhibition by Warffemius and French artist Azul Andrea.
Nature is an important theme in the multifaceted oeuvre of Warffemius (The Hague, 1956). He paints delicate twigs, stems and mushrooms with thin, transparent paint. The use of white in his work contributes to a sense of stillness. In his sculptures, he stays true to strictly stylised forms inspired by nature, resulting in powerful and balanced compositions.
Galerie Ramakers is pleased to present a new series of paintings and works on paper created by Warffemius during his recent trip to Kenya.
Azul Andrea (Buenos Aires, 1988), who lives and works in Paris, explores the boundaries of material and perception in her art. Her work is rooted in deep research and constitutes an ongoing exploration of materials.
Her unique visual language includes nuts, grains, eggshells and egg yolks, as well as found objects such as survival blankets. These elements serve as powerful metaphors for impermanence, fragility and the transformative and healing powers of nature. The ageing egg yolk, which forms shiny golden crystals, and the coloured, broken eggshells evoke the beauty of birth, the beginning of something new.
