About the artist: Royal Academy of Art The Hague Specialization: Graphics, especially screen printing Cones, funnels, hearts and tulips are recurring elements in Susette van de Lande's graphs. In a playful but robust way she arranges the stylized shapes in the flat surface. She places her objects in an imaginary space in which depth is suggested by applying several transparent layers of color on top of each other. The shapes and colors are exuberant. Where the performance asks for it, she manages to limit herself to a more modest approach and a more muted palette.
With her artworks she tells a fictional story. In the performance, a balance in color and composition of the proposed object is paramount. But there's more. Van de Lande wants to prevent her works from becoming predictable in appearance and composition. "That's why I deliberately add a dissonant note to the image," she says. Without the performance losing harmony or credibility, the tension between the forms is increased. A meaning suddenly takes a different turn. It is therefore always a pleasant experience for the viewer to look at her work.
