JACQUELINE LOEVE (1968) Since 1999, Jacqueline has been affiliated with Galerie Atelier Herenplaats, transporting us to strange planets teeming with alien creatures. Her self-made comic strips form the basis for large-scale paintings, complete with speech bubbles in her own language. Jacqueline shows us fragments of a larger, mysterious story.
CARLOS JAVIER GARCIA HUERGO (1969) This Cuban mathematician combines the reality of mathematics with a personal visual language in his art. On recycled materials—cardboard, vinyl sleeves, old newspapers—he draws a hybrid world in pastel colours, full of creatures that live in his consciousness. His own numerical alphabet and algorithms form life stories.
TOBIAS TEBBE (1980) Driven from childhood by an unstoppable urge to draw, this Arnhem-based artist creates alternative world maps. In his 'Dutch Democratic Republic,' with Baarle as its capital and 'Checkpoint Charles' as its border crossing, historical figures mingle with monsters, elves, and family members. A mirrored tent full of funhouse mirrors in which borders—geographical and personal—are explored.
These four artists have one thing in common: they cannot help but create their own world. Driven by something more powerful than themselves, they each build their own universe. They show us how multifaceted apparent reality can be. And however deeply personal their worlds are, recognition is never far away.
