Aimee Terburg

Aimée Terburg is a process-based artist who constructs and reduces, catching tension and unity in contrasts to create subtle shifts in the experience of perception.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Terburg is exhibiting nationally and internationally and is from Dutch - Surinamese origin.
Born and raised in the North of the Netherlands, catching the essence of experiencing a landscape started her artistic research how we relate to space, surface and image.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her work is executed manually in a labor-intensive precision, highlighting and combining the different ways we perceive color, depth or markings.

The history and (trans)cultural origins of graphic patterns and genres are equivalent sources for her to create these senses of place.
