repression Painting

ONZEA‘s work includes, besides paintings, also spatial installations. She uses a lot of different materials such as latex-rubber, plastic, iron, plexi-glass, organic materials, found objects, bister, … ONZEA experiments with space,form and matter in a constant transformation and ravel of the human body. She’s thematizing the losing of identity and the vulnerability of the human being. Her work is created intuitively, usually from an idea that builds on a previous work. This leads to series, which, by the repetitive use of materials, not only in terms of content but also formally constitute a large installation. ONZEA paints a fascinating, hidden world. In today's transparent society, the secret threatens to lose its intensity and value. In her work there is always an elusive rest, making the entirety bathed in an atmosphere of secrecy. Simultaneously, she handles this in a playful way, in an ever-expanding exploration of the imagination. Eva Steynen Born and work in Antwerp, Belgium.
