"Her images exude quiet resistance."
Neeltje de Vries' black-and-white photographs are probing. They seduce, they disrupt, and they hold you in their grip. In one image, the curve of a breast touches the hard edge of a wall; in another, a woman's tongue strokes the shoulder of another. But make no mistake: these are not merely beautiful, seductive images. They tingle with friction. De Vries’ work is a masterful balance of line and form, body and boundary, allure and discomfort.
