With her series ‘Utopia’, Eliza wants to connect the viewer with their own utopian feeling. She shows us mesmerizing images of otherworldly places, inspired by the grandeur and elegance of nature. Vibrant colors, light reflections and small unexpected details give Eliza’s works an unusual character, encouraging the viewer to leave the everyday and give space to imagination. Her works give you an experience of wonder, contemplation and imagination.
Esther de Jong’s work is characterized by round, sturdy shapes, which generally gives her images a modest and monumental character. Esther uses her images to explore the contradictions of innocence versus resilience and truth versus identity. Her accurate observation and refined stylization are characteristic of her work. Esther’s images can be simultaneously fragile and powerful, youthful and lived-in, innocent and resilient. Come by and admire her introverted, but powerful images.
The impressive work of Eliza de Geus and Esther de Jong can be admired in WTC Amsterdam from May 1 to June 30, 2023.
