Lisette van Hoogenhuyze

Lisette van Hoogenhuyze is a multimedia artist who was living and working between Lisbon and Amsterdam for the last four years. Recently she moved back to the Hague (NL). 

Her paintings, sculptures and textile installations merge feminine figures, natural motifs and ageless symbols in a critical examination of identity, collective memory and language. As an avid traveler, Lisette has developed an interest in the habits and behaviours of different cultures, having found a unified longing for belonging in the people she met during her journeys. 

Her colourful and layered pieces take audiences on a trip across different contemporary (sub)cultures, defying habitual representations of femininity and nature in an ironic ode to rebellion and joy. Ancient beasts, rituals and present-day references fill her production, appearing in both abstract and figurative forms that similarly defy static parameters of normativity.
