Danielle Lemaire (1967, Breda)
makes drawings, paintings, performances, soundworks; she releases books, records and other sound carriers on her own label Inner Landscapes and she organizes exhibitions and live events.
In any medium under her hands, Danielle creates work in a concentrated sensitive manner, in which time investment / duration plays an important role. This time investment gives the work a layered quality and brings it ‘to life’.

The drawings and paintings usually contain subjects as ’empty’ interiors in which human
presence is suggested; shadows of human life, or a vision.
Also, the image can be populated with people; a (self-)portrait, people to whom a specific
memory is connected, or anonymous people in a seance-like setting.

In early 2015, Danielle worked for three months in a seventeenth century house in Dordrecht, where she made an art installation in the house itself and released a full color risoprinted book -stencild at Knust Press- with a 10 “vinyl record on which a musical radio play is to be heard. ‘PORTRAIT OF A HOUSE’.

In september 2015 she did a residence in Pecsbagota, Hungary, and made there a large drawing entitled: ‘Drawing Is Stepping Into A New Zone Where Time Does Not Get Lost’.

Danielle Lemaire and Jordy Koevoets will share a booth on This Art Fair.
They work and live in the same city, Breda.
They are triggered by each others work and differences, which brings them together from time to time. For This Art Fair they will join forces and create a new tension in which absurdity meets subtleness.
