‘No one sees a flower, really’

Duoshow with Ragnhild Nes

Galleri Duer, Oslo

This exhibition marks the first duo show by Ragnhild Nes (NO) and Lisette van Hoogenhuyze (NL)

through letters, conversations, and meetups, most recently by a trip to Sicily, they sketched volcanoes, wandered landscapes soaked in sunlight and myth.

Both artists work through layered practices where writing, colour, and their surroundings play a crucial
role in shaping what unfolds on the blank surface. Nes focuses on abstract painting, drawing and sculpture,
while van Hoogenhuyze works more figuratively with drawing, textiles, ceramics and more.
Despite differences in form, their works share a deep sensitivity to process, art historical references, and
the language of Color.
The exhibition title is borrowed from Georgia O’Keeffes quote : «Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so
small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time."

Nieuwe lijnen: Tussen vriendschap en vereniging.

Villa Mondriaan

Negen hedendaagse kunstenaars reflecteren met hun deelname aan de tentoonstelling Nieuwe Lijnen op de thema’s vriendschap en vereniging. Op uitnodiging van curator Marian Genet worden haar ruimtelijke installaties samengebracht met de speelse objecten van Christina de Korte, Iekeliene Stange, Dirry de Bruin, Lisette van Hoogenhuyze, Judith Pool, Carmen Schabracq, Joana Schneider en Hadassah Emmerich. De werken nodigen uit om plaats te nemen, erop te klimmen, en kunst op een geheel andere manier te ervaren. Nieuwe lijnen geeft inzicht in de vraag hoe kunstenaressen hun positie in de kunstsector kunnen versterken door het vormen van een vereniging of het oprichten van een collectief.

Brasil series - works on paper

In December 2024 I went on a residency in São Paulo, Brasil. At this residency I made a series of drawings. These drawings formed the base of the visual research I had done for my solo presentation at Art Rotterdam 2025, where I was represented by gallery Van Fanny Freytag.
