CAMERON PLATTER //
Cameron Platter (1978, ZA) is a South African contemporary artist known for his eclectic and thought-provoking works. His work in drawing, painting, sculpture, tapestry, ceramics, video and digital appropriates and filters the vast amount of information available today in a very personal and idiosyncratic way. His postmodern and multidisciplinary approach to making art, blurs the distinction between high and low, and draws from diverse sources as art history, ecology, psychedelics, fast food, advertising, therapy, education and consumerism. This year, we present a vibrantly colorful ceramic body of work that Platter created during his residency at EKWC in Oisterwijk.
DIEDERIK SCHNEEMANN //
Dutch artist & designer Diederik Schneemann (1979, NL) is best known internationally for works that balance between art and design. Applied art in the broad sense of the word, which conveys more than aesthetics alone. His works are characterized by evoking astonishment, a memory or a sentiment. In his use of materials and forms, he usually uses existing objects and forms that carry their own charge or story. Diederik Schneemann attracted great attention with his Matchbox cabinet and a chandelier of hundreds of brilliant perfume bottles.
BAS GEERTS //
Bas Geerts is a Dutch visual artist, music programmer, and writer whose work explores the confrontation between power and powerlessness. Since 2023, he has been developing an ongoing series of double portraits in which silhouettes of victims and those in power are superimposed, questioning the disproportionate relationships between them and giving voice to the oppressed. His paintings are characterized by an openness of form, expressed through vibrant colors made from pure pigments and the use of reflective metal leaf that changes with the viewer’s position. The compositions are generated through a computer program he wrote himself, incorporating random parameters that continuously produce new visual outcomes. In this process, Geerts blurs the line between intention and chance, challenging the notion of artistic control and emphasizing shared responsibility between artist and viewer.
IDE ANDRÉ //
Ide André (1990, NL) lives and works in Arnhem. Trained in performance at ArtEZ Arnhem, his painting practice is rooted in physical action and the residue of gesture. His works function as visual recordings of energy - traces of movement, rhythm, and intensity fixed on canvas. André has exhibited widely in the Netherlands and Germany, his work is supported by the Mondriaan Fund, and included in several public and private collections.
