@issscha iN$piRaTiOn - mostly about some kind of internetculture. I find it really interesting to see how people present theirselves on the internet, or how thoughts seem to wander different paths online than in the ‘offline’ world. Maybe the only odd man out seems to be the book ‘a study of Diego’, but for me that it a beautiful offline form of online presentation. In a way. Go check out, because it is b e a u t i f u l ! @theclubofmeneditions

This weeks takeover: Ischa Kempka @issscha ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣“While stirring with my middle finger in the big pool of language, I am in my work reflecting on humanityʼs way of communicating.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Texts I read online or words I hear people say are a starting point to make (ceramic) sculptures, drawings or video works. These form installations in which they are pointing towards each other in some sort of system of signs. I want to make people aware of their thinking patterns and to challenge their assumptions by re-presenting them with their own words.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Gender, femininity and feminism are subjects that are fascinating to me, not only because of their political backgrounds, but also because there are lots of prejudices about these subjects. In a surrounding where a lot of different opinions and emotions exist, language plays of course a big part in resolving problems. But what if language is deliberately used to provoke and encourage discussions, anger, and incomprehension, but nobody realized that? This is maybe a disturbing idea, but I do like it in an artistic way.” - Ischa Kempka ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Photo by Laura van Daalen (@van.daalen).⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#rizoom #takeover #81 #ischakempka
Recently I was in a Reverse Mentoring project in which a young mentor is linked to a mid-career artist. At some point he asked me: “You think you can do your colors on portraits too? So I made this test to see what would happen. To me it’s worth exploring some more, so I decided to do a series. Thank you @j.v.egmond for this! So this was my last post. Thank you @joristimothebroekhoven for the takeover and thank you all for your reactions. It was my pleasure! . . #portrait #analogphotography #autobiographie #gabriellekroese #newseries #colorresearch #reversementoring #cultuurenondernemen #haishokusoukan #dutchartist
Since I’ve control over the technical method of my painted prints, I can expand in size and number colored squares. So my latest prints have 75 different colors, more or less. The series is titled: ‘Counting her colors’ and that’s exactly what I’m doing. 75,5x109cm . . #paintedprints #haishokusoukan #bambooforest #colorresearch #slowwatching #gabriellekroese #contemporaryart #dutchartist
I wanted to take my coloring to a next level during the following show so I painted some walls the same way I did my painted prints: I picked the colors blind when being in the space and painted the walls the exact same color. On top of it I presented my work. The result was amazing and again the colors surprised me by their magic. (By the way, the green carpet was already there) In this takeover I concentrate on my way of using colors, but when you’re interested in my paintings, please take a peak at: www.gabriellekroese.nl . . #colorexibition #colorsbychance #haishokusoukan #colorresearch #gabriellekroese #dutchartist
When we figured out the best quality layer for my painted prints I studied sizes of prints versus sizes of squares and the ‘rules’ where to place them. Every color I pick is exactly mixed by the example of Haishoku Soukan and needs at least three layers to become opaque. So it’s time-consuming and concentrated work, but I like it as kind of a meditative process that helps me to slow down. It’s great fun actually and more like playing your own rules while composing. And every time the combination of colors itself and also the combination of photo and colored squares takes me by surprise! . #paintedprints #haishokusoukan #rulestoplayby #colorsbychance #gabriellekroese #dutchartist #makingmyownrules
