Ensemble: TEKENINGEN [DRAWINGS]
Els Dietvorst's drawings are a way of communicating the continuous flow of her impressions. She not only records daily reality, but also thoughts and dreams, which she merges into one drawing, in so doing creating connections between reality and fiction. Dietvorst describes her drawings as an intuitive process in which she tries to correct one misstep with another. For her drawings, the artist always uses a mixture of white, black and red ink, resulting in warm shades of brown. The compositions, often with human figures or animals in the lead, usually have a surrealistic streak. By omitting personal characteristics, Dietvorst creates universal characters who embrace the absurdity of existence and celebrate life, with death as its perspective.
