Description from the seller
"Premonition" is part of the series: "The Last Days of Leo Snoep". The story about the resistance fighter from World War II. Entrepreneur Leo Snoep, owner of the Machine Factory on the IJssel, was active in the resistance during the war. He was arrested and disappeared, with no clarity ever arising about charges, investigation, or trial. After being assaulted, he was shot dead. How and where this happened exactly has not been resolved to this day.
In this photo, “The Premonition,” Snoep stands by the IJssel, just before the start of his workday—a quiet moment, charged with what is yet to come. He left behind a wife and children who would never see him again. His body reportedly drifted for two weeks in the IJssel, after which it was found and identified by Dr. Willem Johan Kolff (pioneer of dialysis). He advised Snoep’s wife Sara not to look at her husband anymore.
The photographer reconstructs in a photo series the last days of Leo Snoep: an attempt to make the unspeakable visible—between history, loss and imagination.
The format of the photo is 22x30 cm and it is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag. This is the second edition, No. 12.
Seller's Story
Passionate, sensitive and an eye for detail, light and colour, would be a nice description for Ursula's working method. She is a perfectionist, enthusiastic and diligent, she will only be satisfied when the well-known WOW factor has been achieved.
With her artworks she tries to bring her subjects forward in the purest way. Ursula transforms objects into powerful still lifes and the portraits are a reflection of a bygone time, in which every now and then a sprinkle of modern life is incorporated.
Her work is unconventional and the use of light tends towards her sources of inspiration; the paintings of Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt and Caravaggio.
As a photographer, Ursula also tries to distinguish herself through diversity in her work and, in addition to individual creations, she also makes series, in which she lets multiple images tell one story. She was discovered, among other things, with her intriguing, tranquil still lifes: the series Plastic Vegetables’ and the series ‘House-4-Sale’. These works have been awarded various prizes, including for the series “de 100 van Rooyackers.”
