Description
Liesbeth Piena (1993) maakt krachtige schilderijen waarin planten en natuurlijke landschappen worden teruggebracht tot essentiële vormen. Ze kijkt met een analytische blik naar de werkelijkheid, waarin kleine details haar aandacht trekken. Uit haar observaties isoleert ze opvallende fragmenten en stelt daarmee nieuwe beelden samen. Liesbeth Piena is prijswinnaar van de Sieger White Award 2020 voor getalenteerde jonge kunstenaars. liesbeth Pienna (1993) makes powerful paintings in which plants and natural landscapes are reduced to essential forms. She looks at reality with an analytical eye, in which small details attract her attention. From her observations she isolates striking fragments and uses them to compose new images. Liesbeth Piena is prize winner of the Sieger White Award 2020 for talented young artists. In A Colour Has Many Layers, Francis Nagy was inspired by Piena's fascination with nature for her short story 'Cloud Forests'. She describes how the I-character scrapes the earth from the soles of her father's shoes in order to evoke the scent of trees in her bedroom. Jurriaan Benschop highlights Piena's working method: 'She has appropriated abstraction without sacrificing the figurative for it. Her work is precisely about that balance between what is defined as form or figure and what remains open or intangible.
