statements
groep voorschoten
"photographics is probably the most pure form of black-and-white
photography. all grey values are removed until you are left with only black
and white. an exciting work of art depends on the critical attitude of the
artist, from the original shot to the final image and throughout all the
development phases in between."
about brigitta mels:
her works have a sober simplicity and at the same time create a strong
tension which often derives from well-chosen contrasts in the choice of
colour and material. her art as a whole is imbued with an atmosphere of
tranquil unity and artistic maturity (miloslava svobodova, ika, mechelen)
nadia vermeren:
"daylight, i'm always looking for daylight. I catch it with my tools and
then the light begins to impose its will on me and makes me do things that I
could never have discovered or designed before. light is my masterÅ my work
grows impulsively into what it is to be: reflections of all kinds! who
really creates my work ?"
