Utrecht – “I once skinned a moose, all the hairs off with the idea of getting a supple piece of leather, that didn’t quite work out.” Artist Els Vegter from Utrecht sometimes goes to great lengths to understand the material she works with. She makes rough painted landscapes, with paint and all kinds of other materials. With hair or wool, but also with coarser matter such as lead and rust or glass from a destroyed bus shelter.
Els Vegter’s paintings contain rust, glass and her son’s hair
