Content:
In 2014, Femmy Otten (1981) was one of three artists who were selected by the government to make an official portrait of King Willem-Alexander. Otten refuses to comply with the scope of canvas or paper. She mainly distinguishes herself by her complex wall compositions, bringing together two- and threedimensional elements. Images of women and of mythological creatures, made of plaster or wood, rise out of a bright white wall. Drawings in serene lines, watery-coloured monsters, mythological creatures and pastel-painted motifs and frescoes complete the mythical world in which Otten creates her poetic logic. This publication offers readers an intimate glimpse into the artisanal and laborious working process of this extraordinary artist. Exhibition: Galerie Fons Welters, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (10.09.-06.11.2016)
