Femke Hiemstra

Le Fenètre Secret

2007 Dec 1 - 2008 Jan 26
OPENING PICTURES

(ENG) The first solo show of Femke Hiemstra is called 'La Fenêtre Secrète'. KochxBos Gallery is opening a secret window to the fantastic world by Femke Hiemstra. Most of the preciously created work is painted on paper but sometimes it finds its way into little prayer books, small scouting vanes or antique tobacco cans.

In these paintings and drawings Hiemstra has shapes and objects come to life playing with animals, fantasy creatures and typographics. The atmosphere reminds us of children's books from an era gone by. A second look however reveals a sharper edge: hunters and skeletons, secret smokers and easter bunnies recounting their mysterious existence in many languages.

(NL) De eerste solo show van het schilderwerk van Femke Hiemstra heet 'La Fenêtre Secrète'. Galerie KochxBos in Amsterdam laat je door dit geheime venster binnenstappen in de fantastische wereld die Femke Hiemstra heeft gecreeërd. De minutieus uitgevoerde werken zijn naast papier soms op (preken)boekjes, padvindersvaantjes of antieke tabaksblikjes geschilderd.

In deze schilderijen en tekeningen laat ze vormen en objecten tot leven komen die een spel aangaan met dieren, fantasiewezens en typografische elementen. De sfeer van het werk doet denken aan afbeeldingen uit kinderboeken van vervlogen tijden. Een tweede blik onthult echter een scherper randje: jagers en skeletten, stiekeme rokers en paashazen vertellen in allerlei talen van de wereld hun mysterieus bestaan.
