Alice Brasser (b.1965, Netherlands) - Boys. Oil on canvas, 150 x 130 cm (2010/2011)

Great thanks to artandopinion for this Monday to introduce one of her favorite contemporary artist, Alice Brasser. There is no lack of images in Brasser’s head. Her oeuvre forms an impressive and diverse collection of stills and scenes taken from stories. What the stories tell is not always clear. And they don’t have to be. She does not want them to be. Sometimes, the title gives a hint. Sometimes the space gives an indication. In another work, it is the posture of the people that draws your attention. Often, the artist only stimulates the observer’s curiosity and then leaves the rest to his or her imagination. (cf. That image in my head, text by Rob Perrée)
