Catalogus digitale expositie “Dream Room” ontvangen

Via de e-mail kreeg ik de catalogus en review van de internationale expositie “Dream Room” die afgelopen maand in de M.A.D.S. Milano Gallery te zien is geweest.
De art curator besluit haar review met: “The beauty of women and their dreams explodes thanks to him.“

Eerder was er al een video review gedaan door curator Erminia Abbuonandi die in dienst is bij M.A.D.S. Gallery Milano. De video review staat ook nog een keertje aan het einde van dit blogbericht.

Zowel de video review als de review in de catalogus is gedaan door Eminia en zijn nagenoeg gelijk.

De catalogus bevat de foto’s van de ingezonden kunstwerken van alle kunstenaars die aan de expositie hebben meegedaan. Daarnaast schrijft één van de art curators van de M.A.D.S. Gallery Milano een review van het ingezonden werk.

Ik beperk me tot de pagina’s in de catalogus waarop de foto’s van Studio Tjeerd zijn opgenomen.

“With one eye, search in the outside world, while with the other, look within you”
(cit. Amedeo Modigliani)

The human being has always had to interface with two visions of life, dream and reality. When are both feasible? And when to make each other prevail?

Tjeerd Doosje’s photos contain the magic and enchantment in the eyes of young women who, while posing towards the reality of the lens, have their mind elsewhere, far away – “far farther than the night and far higher than the day”, as the French surrealist poet of the twentieth century Jacques Préverte quoted – towards a world made of dreams not yet fulfilled.

The eyes of these young women express joy, innocence, childhood and mystery.
The artist divides himself: as a professor of mathematics – his other work as well as that of a photographer – he prevails the precision of the lens and perspective in the portraits, while as a photographer he tries to capture the unconscious itself.

Tjeerd has always been fascinated by mysterious and sweet faces and their features since he began photographing children: those faces so full of innocence and wonder overwhelmed him, involved him and spurred him to grow and do the search for faces and their hidden desires, his dream.

The poetry and the delicacy of the female face that he portrays allows everyone to imagine real stories.
The women portrayed by Tjeerd are as enigmatic and melancholy as those of Tamara De Lempicka’s Art Deco, romantic and ethereal like those of Modigliani.
The beauty of women and their dreams explodes thanks to him.
