Oppression, anxiety and unfreedom are recurring themes in my work.

What does it do to you when you can’t be who you are because of conformism or social pressure? I know from experience how difficult that can be. How you can struggle to be able to be yourself, to follow your own path.

In my work I look for recognition of this. I want to show and feel how unpleasant and intense it can be. Recognition can also give comfort or strength.

My sculptures, made from prints of my body (parts), are often not smoothly finished and have frayed edges.

For me, that symbolizes the rawness of the feelings represented.

A special friend summed up my work:

Trapped growth needs space, and boldness. Cross-border.

GALLERY INGRID SLAA

The 2nd weekend of the month, except August, I invite a colleague to exhibit at my gallery. We then create a joint exhibition.

I enjoy it when the works reinforce each other.

Sometimes by sanding,

another time by the color combinations,

or by the parallels in material use or theme.

SELL

Much of my work and that of my guest artists is for sale during the open days.

It is nice to be able to see the work in real life.

Then you will have a better idea of the dimensions and material.

And you can better experience what it does to you.

If you’re in the area, just stop by.

And otherwise, you can always make an appointment.

STAY INFORMED?

I like to share with you my new work, where I exhibit, what inspires me and other news about my studio and gallery. I make a newsletter about that once a month.
