Catalogus digitale expositie “#Mil@no PhotoAward” ontvangen

Via de e-mail kreeg ik de catalogus en review van de internationale expositie “#Mil@no PhotoAward” die afgelopen maand in de M.A.D.S. Milano Gallery te zien is geweest.

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.

“Faces rarely deceive. You have the soul of your face and the face of your soul.”(Paul Brulat)

Tjeerd’s photography is a kind of journey to discover feelings and souls.
Young women are the protagonists of his works, they are the center of composition, the whole surrounding environment revolves around them and it almost seems that the space adapts by hosting and welcoming them.
Lively looks and intense gestures are the driving force of the photographs, from which energy is released.

Artists have always turned their gaze to the human face, in particular that of women.
Faces that were intended to represent vices and virtues, feelings and passions.
The portrait is an extremely topical issue despite having very ancient roots, in contemporary society the images of one’s face is what we use most, just think of the world of social media.

If we are used to seeing, in advertising, continuously images of perfect, almost unreal, flawless faces, Tjeerd’s photos feature women with real feelings, their faces reveal sensitivity, shyness or even self-confidence.
When Vermeer painted “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” a masterpiece of simplicitiy and sweetness emerged, as happens with Tjeerd’s faces, he manages to capture the simplicity in the extraordinary beauty of these faces.

“The truth is always found in simplicity, never in confusion.” (Isaac Newton)
