Event Details : Vadehra Art Gallery is pleased to present the works of internationally acclaimed Dutch artist Juul Kraijer. Forty-one-year-old Kraijer is globally recognized for her works that are expressions of the experiential subconscious (inspired by texts like Aldous Huxley's Doors of Perception) and display a range of assimilative influences from the east and west. A graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts, Rotterdam (1989-1994) Kraijer’s drawings, photographs, sculptures and videos have been shown in solo exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2001), the Gemeentenmuseum, The Hague (2006) and the Cobra Museum of Modern Art, Amstelveen (2009) and in galleries in Amsterdam, Milan, Cologne and Copenhagen. Her work has also been shown in ARS 06 - Sense of the Real at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki. With three Dutch art prizes to her credit, her works are a part of many prestigious collections including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma (Helsinki), Museum Kunst Palast (Dusseldorf), Kupferstichkabinett Berlin, Museum Moderner Kunst (Vienna) among others.
In this particular exhibition she presents works from 2007, moving beyond the drawings in crayon, ink and charcoal, to include a range of media like sculptures, photographs and videos.  Kraijer’s works elude traditional iconography, even as they present the mystical, transient world of interactions between humans and nature. The subjects, according to the artist, remain independent from the spectator with expressions of intense concentration which is wholly turned inwards. With an underlying tone of being wounded, their postures display a tension like that of compressed springs.
