Maaike Kramer
(NL 1986 / ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, Arnhem)
Creates monumental art and is not afraid to use solid material for this, especially concrete. Combined with paper and graphite, she has developed a constructivist visual language that is as impressive as it is subdued. Her works on paper are drawn on photo prints that hardly can be distinguished from real concrete. The combinations of the print and the pencil lead to harmonious ensembles.
