This exhibit is now over. The prices, dates, places and external
hyperlinks on this page are not maintained and may no longer be accurate. Artist Kiek Jansen, who was educated at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende
Kunsten in Amsterdam (1980-1984), does drawings, oil paintings and paste-ups
out of cloth glued onto paper. With this technique, different patterns and
designs form the basis of apparently cheerful scenes. Her travels in Africa
have influenced the shape as well as the content of her work, with the
beautiful, multi-coloured fabrics Africans wear against a background of sand
and sun inspiring her figures. The reality of everyday life, with its
hunger, poverty and social inequality, is the source of her inspiration.
The exhibition is open weekdays from 9:00 – 17:00 until 31 July 2007.
The paste-ups and paintings, which are hanging in the corridors and the library of the
African Studies Centre in the Pieter de la Court building, Wassenaarseweg
52, Leiden are all for sale. Feel free to come and take a look!
