Luuk de Haan

Although in many ways resembling abstract painting, photographs of the kind made by Luuk de Haan celebrate and delight in exploiting photography’s indexical grounding in a world of chemical and physical reactions to physical phenomena and, more recently, the optical potential inherent in digital, screen-based photographic manipulation. They are documents of their own coming into being rather than the recording of a world outside the photograph. Despite their abstract, non-referential appearance, they are as ‘realist’ as photographs can get. Emphasising sequential processes and long durations rather than instantaneous exposure, they return photography to a unique and individualised practice and away from reproductive economies of mass production. - Derek Horton

Luuk de Haan exhibited in numerous galleries like: Galerie Witteveen, Amsterdam (NL); Gallery Vous êtes ici; Amsterdam (NL); Kaune Contemporary, Cologne (D); Volker Diehl Gallery, Berlin (D); Sous Les Etoiles Gallery, New York (USA); Espace Meyer/Zafra, Paris (F); Museum Kranenburgh in Bergen. And is represented on art fairs like Art New York, Expo Chicago and Art Miami.
