Yvonne Van Woggelum

The greater part of Yvonne van Woggelums' work is comprised of acrylic on canvas paintings of photo-like imagery radiating a sense of magic realism. The atmosphere of the work is at times comparable to that of French-Belgian painter Paul Delvaux, albeit without the latter's emphasis on the macabre and supernatural. Another difference is that the tension that Van Woggelum manages to build into her work is more under the surface. It is precisely this uncanny lack of connection between the inner and outer worlds of her portrayed figures that makes them appear somewhat like characters caught in a film that has stopped running; imprisoned in inertia, wallowing in languid apathy, mirroring themselves like some endless repetition of Narcissus, drowning in their own self- image.
