Art Gallery O-68 shows new work by Lenneke van der Goot and Rozemarijn Westerink.

Art Gallery O-68 focuses on artists who, in an investigative way, depict current themes around identity, ecology and the self in interaction with the outside world. During Slow Down Motion, the gallery will present the work of Lenneke van der Goot and Rozemarijn Westerink. They both investigate, in their own unique way, the scope within drawing. Excursions into spatiality, video and lithography are characteristic and will be on display in this exhibition, where mixed media works on paper, panels, epoxy works, ceramics and videos will be shown.

About the artists

In response to the hectic pace of everyday life, Lenneke van der Goot (1979) wants to find a point of rest in her work, where all stimuli, thoughts and developments are brought to a standstill. In large and small drawings she suggests spaces that are accessible, but offer no security. Sometimes in black and white, then again colourful and vibrant, these spaces are populated by multi-faceted objects, precarious constructions, stacks or patterns. These are carriers that represent ideas and processes, that reflect on themes such as chaos, structure and (getting) lost. Layering and suggestions of light and depth are important means in this. In the exhibition she will show, among other things, a new large work, in which nine lithographs have been assembled into one metre-large work. Lenneke van der Goot lives and works in Arnhem, she was educated at the HKU, won the EposPress Drawing Prize and the Pim Olivier Graphics Prize. She exhibits at home and abroad.

In her drawings and animated films, Rozemarijn Westerink (1982) investigates the way in which a personal experience or the perception of a certain moment can become universal and thus recognisable to the viewer. She focuses on the landscape – the garden in particular – and the female body. She transforms observations, memories, experiences and dreams into delicate pen drawings, sometimes so elaborate that the white paper has almost disappeared. In addition to work on paper and film, Westerink will show a new series of epoxy and ceramic works during the Slow Down Motion exhibition. In these, Westerink plays with elements from her animated films, which she then reconstructs into new works. This creates images that attempt to preserve a moving, and therefore transient, moment. Rozemarijn Westerink was educated at ArtEZ and St. Joost (MA), won the Buning Brongers Prize and recently the Open Call Zadkine, initiated by the Dutch Embassy in Paris.
