Sterre Arentsen

Sterre Arentsen is a Dutch Artist, currently based in Helsinki. Her work is drawn from the observation of the relation between man and nature. She captures moments that have already passed, fragments that have outlived their time. A faded hopscotch court, hidden in a dark alley on the outskirts of the city, where no one plays anymore. A lost puzzle piece on the ground, separated from the whole to which it once belonged. Clear scenes with sharp edges, or abstract frames where colour holds everything together. Various analog techniques allow her to extract more from a scene than meets the eye at first glance, in a sense turning the world inside out. People rarely appear in her images. It's mostly lifeless objects that convey humanity in their place.
