Schilte & Portielje

Galerie Binz & Kramer, Koln

A surrealist world, located in the area of tension between photography, drawing and painting, inhabited by graceful, dreamlike and audacious creatures.  The figures who play the lead role in the duo's photographic works are characterised by the mystery that surrounds them; a sort of intangibility, impenetrability. Elegance, power and intransigence seem to struggle with each others dominance.

Alongside several older works, Binz & Kraemer Gallery will present a series on which Schilte & Portielje have worked intensively for the last two years. This series shows even more clearly the influence of political and social developments. Schilte & Portielje want to make a stand for tolerance and pluriformity with their work - particularly in the current climate when everything is supposed to be manageable and orderly. Therefore their figures often habe an impertinent, brazen overtone with which they resist the curtailment of personal freedoms and preferences.
