Lender: the artist.
Alexandra Crouwers links an ancestral artistic practice - mural painting - and contemporary technologies such as 3D. Mixing drawings and video, she creates trompe-l'oeil effects and strange, dreamlike atmospheres. In her installations, animation films seem like mental projections, entirely linked to the spaces in which they take form. The mural drawings, executed with the help of 3D software, are always designed for a specific space. This presentation of Practical Applied Hermetics is the third created by the artist.
Born in 1974 in Cuyk, Netherlands.
