Description from the seller

“Premonition” or the foreboding. Print on high-quality Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. The format is 22x30 cm and has a small white border. This is the second edition of 12 copies. The photo is part of the series: “The Last Days of Leo Snoep,” the resistance fighter from World War II. Entrepreneur Leo Snoep, owner of the Machine Factory on the IJssel, was actively involved in the resistance during the war. He was arrested and disappeared without there ever being clarity about charges, investigation, or trial. After mistreatment he was shot dead. How and where this happened exactly is not 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. The photographer reconstructs in a photo series the last days of Leo Snoep: an attempt to make the unsayable visible—between history, loss, and imagination.

Seller's Story

Passionate, sensitive and with an eye for detail, light and color, would be a nice description of Ursula's approach. She is perfectionistic, enthusiastic and diligent; she will only be satisfied when the well-known WOW factor has been achieved. With her artworks she aims to bring her subjects forward in the purest possible way. Ursula transforms objects into powerful still lifes and the portraits are a reflection of a bygone era, where from time to time a splash of modern life is incorporated. Her work is unconventional and the use of light leans toward her sources of inspiration: the paintings of Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt and Caravaggio. As a photographer Ursula also seeks to distinguish herself through diversity in her work, and beside individual creations she makes series, where multiple images tell one story. She is notably discovered with her intriguing, still lifes: the series Plastic Vegetables and the series House-4-Sale. These works have been awarded with various prizes, among them for the series “de 100 van Rooyackers.” Exhibitions: 2025 Academiehuis Zwolle 2024 Stedelijk museum Kampen 2023 ANNO museum Zwolle 2019 Fundatie Zwolle 2019 WG Kunst Amsterdam 2017 Loods 6 Amsterdam 2016 van Abbemuseum Publications: Stentor-Haarlems Dagblad, HP de Tijd, GUP New Dutch Photography Awards incl., 2017 Public Prize Photographic Design 2015 PIA d’or Award second prize Portrait 2021 Fine Art Photography Awards Portrait
