Lisa Ruyter

26 April – 26 May 2012

Lisa Ruyter's paintings radiate a distant technical objectivity, despite having been painted with a brush or cut and printed manually. This can be attributed to her artistic process, fusing new media and technologies with traditional drawing, painting and printmaking techniques. The work always begins with one of Ruyter's photographs, which is transferred onto a surface and resolved into a line drawing. The result, a semi-abstracted, two-dimensional rendering of the subjects, proudly displays its own photographic lineage, while complying with the perceptive constructions brought upon us by the digital age.
