Jolande van Lith (*1966
’s-Hertogenbosch) studied photography
and creative design.
In 1986 she became established as an independant
photographer.
Her work already portraying her interest in the experience
surrounding sex, death and religion.
This resulted in successful exhibitions in The Netherlands
and abroad.
In 1994 she withdrew from photography and began the search
for other art forms.
New form of expressions; like abstracts in acrylic on linnen.
After that discovery Jolande started building her pictures up in layers using
various
disciplines and techniques.
“ I practice an autodidact freedom in the use of materials,
remaining
uninhibited and unlimited in my technique.
My work offers the possibility to portray depth and structure.
Through the use and combination of unusual materials and
colours surprising opportunities arise.
I challenge myself by working with
different objects,
however I purposely chose never to work with brush or pencil to create
structure and texture in my paintings.
Authenticity in simplicity is the guarantee of my work
method.
My fascination surrounding death, sex and deterioration is what I
try to communicate in all my art forms.
Emotions such as pain and sadness are palpable in
the absence of figurative representations.
First impressions are often
deceiving; the layers of the soul bare a dreamy darkness..
I want to create the origin of poetic abstracts without
subject; peace in chaos."
As a result the work ''Porno Religieusika'' is generated from the origin of pure
emotion.
Jolande Van
Lith’s raw and uncensored passion haunts her work;
it’s intensity casting a mysterious powerfull shadow that is uniquely hers.
Each piece is an original offer of the artists soul.
Jolande lives and works in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.
