Kyas Art Salon "The Forest and the Dress"

KYAS ART SALON presents Jacqueline Lamme and Justine Albronda,
two female artists with eyes for beauty and a strong connection with the tradition of Dutch painting.
Both artists paint specific themes from their daily environment.
Amongst their oil paintings, Caroline Curtis´s painted ceramic works also will be presented.

For this exhibition, Justine Albronda finds her inspiration in her closet.
With poetical great sensitivity, she paints her favorite garments,
that emphasize the female aspect as an artist, such as, dresses, blouses and her own fur coat.
She works in the tradition of the Baroque, with great attention
to the light, shadow and an extraordinary realism with tranquil and clear technique.
A contemporary interpretation of the Dutch genre paintings from the Golden Age.

The Romanticism of the 19th century is the starting point of Jacqueline Lamme´s paintings.
In her work, she is searching for a natural paradise, based on observations at the edges of Amsterdam.
Animals from the nearby wilderness, especially birds and butterflies,
are placed in dark painted surroundings.

Caroline Curtis uses 100 years old ceramic plates, which are glazed and refired.
Her dishes and plates with hand painted stylized lacework
and animal motives form a bridge between the themes of this exhibition: The Forest and the Dress.
