Meet Lotte Wieringa
Lotte Wieringa explores dream-like, psychological, and spiritual landscapes through her captivating paintings and drawings. With an intuitive and tactile approach, she unveils narratives that deepen our tangible connection with our surroundings, guiding us towards an understanding of the world without appointing its separate elements.
Wieringa's artistic process seamlessly weaves together reinterpretations of traditional techniques with her own inventive methods. One of these is the "wild-mono" method, which enables her to apply ballpoint-pen-like scratches using ultramarine oil paint on unprimed canvas. This technique liberates the eye to traverse a non-linear perspective, brimming with thickly textured surfaces, intriguing oil stains, and ethereal watery patches. The result is a rousing visual rhythm inviting viewers to submerge in it.
Lotte Wieringa (1991) is a Dutch artist currently residing in Rotterdam. She obtained her BA in Design and Education from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam in 2015. Since then, her work has been presented in events such as Art Rotterdam, NQ Gallery, Amsterdam Art Weekend, and KersGallery, among others. In 2020, 2021 and 2022 she was nominated for the Royal Award for Modern Painting.

Lotte Wieringa’s The hawk in the hot noon is based on a larger work by the artist, an original etching on which a drawing was made with colored pencil.
Scratching the work’s surface is an important part of Wieringa’s practice as a way to create movement. The artist believes there is a natural truth to the movement created by scratching, similar to the movement of all things: the passing of seasons, the movement within ourselves and in the artist’s own emotions. The Hawk in the Hot Noon is like the flight of a bird.
This is Wieringa’s first riso print, and part of the artist’s investigation into translating the material quality of etching into printed matter.
