Background

In 2003, Belgian born artist Elisabeth Van der Voort was invited to have an exhibition at the Stephanie Hoppen Gallery in London. From then on she succesfully took part in both group and solo exhibitions. These early opportunities helped to lauch her work both in the UK and USA. Her latest work examens the fragile thresholds between silence and movement. Mostly based on her own photographs she explores the nature of folds, experimenting with the effect of light and dark on pleated, folded materials. Viewers are invited to engage slowly to experience the quiet intensity of layered surfaces, textures and tones. The work balances between abstraction and recognisability.
