karin hoogesteger

In her work Karin Hoogesteger explores and depicts the always present tension between culture and nature.
She developed an unprecedented sensitivity to lighting that now pervades her whole work.
And even in the paintings that only depicts nature, there is at least a finger pointing to human influence, such as a title like Cultivated Nature’ or one that refers to a musical composition. This reinforces the feeling of melancholy and poetry Hoogesteger often creates in her paintings by alternating between vivid colours with sparingly filled in surfaces.
