Ingrid Slaa (NL)
Text written by GHA
The artist’s sculptures address feminist themes, in particular the role of anger and the agency of women. Her work and picture assemblages question the position of women in today’s world.
Ingrid Slaa’s artistic work encompasses themes that engage with the significant motifs of pain, the representation of powerlessness and vulnerability of women. The artist translates these topics into unique sculptural forms that subtly hint at the emotions observed by the viewer. Her approach is characterized by a variety of techniques and the use of different objects, which she subsequently combines into a cohesive composition. The artist has carefully chosen the medium she works with to convey a particular perception. Her works incorporate an element of metaphor and symbolism, with some works defying easy interpretation. The concepts are often reinforced by the use of just one additional color to emphasize the importance of the subject. A glance at her works prompts introspection regarding the nature of human emotion and the means of its articulation. These are used to critically examine and challenge the often-precarious and multifaceted position of women within the structures of the modern world. Her artistic explorations aim to provoke dialogue and encourage a re-evaluation of traditional gender roles and power dynamics, inviting viewers to consider the diverse experiences and perspectives of women today.
