 “Mental landscapes”, Lisanne Sloots.

These landscapes were inspired by the material – charcoal on paper – and by my wish to draw more freely as I explored themes like skin, home, and heart. Here and there, the charcoal is combined with water and used as pigment; at other times, it serves as a tone, or drawing material.

All at once, surprisingly new things started happening on the paper, and I reacted to those, too. Drawings from life, flowing from my hand onto the paper. Moments, moods, thoughts took shape. Organic, powerful, vulnerable!

These drawings, together with my research into the different types of charcoal produced by different trees, and my artistic use of it, are presented here. My fascination for black and white, material, and trees, come together in this project.

 

“Mental Landscapes”, Jérôme Schlomoff.

I particularly like the “acheiropoietos” images. These images not created by humans. Here, mold on a wall. There, a stain of moisture on curtain, and each time a mental universe opens to our eyes creating landscapes, like so many forests, seaside, snowy mountains... It is a question of observation and interpretation of the world around us, and I like to capture these ghostly landscapes…

 

“Mentale Landschappen”, Lisanne Sloots.

Deze landschappen ontstonden vanuit het materiaal: houtskool op papier en de wens om vrijer te tekenen vanuit thema's als huid, huis en hart. Dan weer wordt het houtskool als pigment gebruikt opgelost in water, dan weer als toon of als tekenmateriaal, scherp en/of zacht.

Soms gebeurde er totaal verassende nieuwe dingen op het papier en reageerde ik daar weer op. Tekeningen die vanuit mij, vanuit het leven zo het papier op vloeien. Momenten, stemmingen, gedachten kregen vorm. Organisch, krachtig en kwetsbaar!

Deze tekeningen samen met het onderzoek naar de diverse soorten houtskool en het gebruik daarvan in het tekenen laat ik zien. Mijn fascinatie voor het zwart-wit, het materiaal en de bomen gecombineerd in dit project.
