Yanelis Morales – SUPER-OBJECTIVE

“Every textile of Yanelis Mora is a little piece of her thoughts, her anxieties, or her joys. It is her personal mental landscape, in colours and lines and shapes, very touchable, real and oozing authenticity” 

Yanelis Mora Morales, born in Cuba in 1984, is an actress and visual artist based in Havana and Madrid. She studied choral conducting and dramatic arts in Havana and has been an actress since 2003, winning three best female performance awards in Cuba. In 2017, she expanded into visual arts, creating textile art from graphic drawings using a patchwork technique called Fundación paper piecing. And using the full potential of abstract language, the exhaustive study of color and light with its complex and sensitive patterns, she gives each of her constructed textiles a very distinct and powerful character of its own.


Loek van Vliet – River Reflections

Van Vliet: “I am fascinated by the way in which a three-dimensional space can be reduced to a flat surface: a reduction to the essential, with the suggestion of depth. The camera has a fundamental flaw: it has a single, motionless eye. It can only capture a single moment, a single perspective. That is nothing compared to the experience of reality, where you are always moving through space and time.”

The photographs reveal van Vliet’s observations of humanity’s incursions into the natural world, some consequences of industrial processes and the artist’s efforts to “portray” in two dimensions the beauty of “quiet spaces” in the natural environment.

Babs – Art de la Rue: Street Art from Ouagadougou

Babs’ studio is on a street in the centre of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. He began 40+ years ago with only a chair and an easel beside an empty field, with his paintings displayed on a fence. His particular style developed over the decades into a distinct genre of African art. 

Artists, mostly younger, work in Babs’ atelier in order to learn the craft. Together they portray day to day life in rural towns in a funny, sensitive and animate manner.
