ILSE D’HOLLANDER
2019-09-23This comprehensive overview, featuring both paintings and works on paper, will span the entirety of D’Hollander’s career, with many works being exhibited for the first time. Ilse D’Hollander created an extraordinary and highly resonant body of work which demonstrates a profoundly developed sense of color, composition, scale and surface. Through her use of subtle tones and pared down compositions, her work highlights the rich dialogue between representation and abstraction. D’Hollander drew inspiration from her surroundings in both Sin-Niklaas, Belgium, where she was born, and the small town of Paulatem, in the Flemish countryside, where she spent the last, highly productive years of her life. Her paintings allude to the material world, suggesting objects, interiors, rural vistas and vast horizons; nonetheless, these images remain resolutely abstract. Focused on the ways in which color and form are perceived, D’Hollander’s work reveals a masterful command of graphic composition and painterly touch.
