In the spotlight: New Talent

Let me introduce you to some of our new artists. We have been lucky to be able to add these amazing new artists to our collection. So without further ado, let me introduce you to FEMM, Janice Jill, Merette Uiterwaal and Babet Olde Weghuis.

FEMM is a dutch designer who creates vibrant contemporary designs who will elevate your space. FEMM is fascinated by beauty and the power of colour. Her striking pieces exude an intense energy.

During her work as a multidisciplinary stylist she discovered her predisposition for colour and composition. Through her work unexpected set designs and aesthetic images were created. With leftover material from her photoshoots she started her own visual experimentation that by now has grown into various series, made up of various materials.

Janice Jill's ceramic journey started in 2019 in a very bustling city in India; New Delhi. She lived there for a whole year and got the chance to throw herself completely into clay and listen to the creative voice in her head. She eventually ended up in a studio built of corrugated iron where the monkeys walked on the roof and many cows and stray dogs found shelter. Accompanied by a well-known Indian artist with long gray hair and blue eyes, her colorful thoughts came to life. Her remarkably diligent work ethic earned her a nickname in the studio in New Delhi: ‘Junoon’, which is Hindi for 'passion'. Her brand name was born.

India can be found in Janice Jill's work; deep pronounced and sometimes even bright colors that you see on every street corner. In addition, two elements always occur: on the one hand the imperfections that arise because everything is made by hand, on the other hand the thick layer of glossy glaze that gives these imperfections a stage.

Merette Uiterwaal is an artist who works mainly with photography. Due to her color blindness she views the world in an unusual way compared to most people. After she started wearing glasses that made her see color, the color pallet she works with expanded.

Interested in the simplicity of everyday life she works with the interpretations of color of everyday subjects. Because of her color blindness there is always a difference between how the artist is seeing the work and most of its observers. This results in work that is on the cutting edge between realism and abstract work. Merette Uiterwaal (b. 1990, Amsterdam Zuid-Oost, The Netherlands) is an artist who works mainly with photography. Due to her color blindness she views the world in an unusual way compared to most people. After she started wearing glasses that made her see color, the color pallet she works with expanded.

Babet Olde Weghuis unassumingly started to collect deer. It is a symbol of transformation, love, luck, innocence, but also of abundance and growth. The deer has become one of the main themes in her work. She started working with this theme, due to an innocent postcard that was hanging in her atelier. Although seemingly coincidental, the deer started to embody her feelings, desires, encompassing her soul.
