Description from the seller
Photo by the Dutch photographer Gioia de Bruijn (1986).
As a photographer she is known for her intimate yet aesthetic visual language, deliberately avoiding voyeurism.
In her work De Bruijn weaves themes such as letting go, intoxication, sexual reality and the architecture of modern world cities with their seemingly endless glass façades. Through her distinctive compositions she creates a disorienting and poetic atmosphere in which time, consciousness and experience seem to shift.
Gioia de Bruijn graduated cum laude from Camberwell College of Arts in London.
Her work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at Flatland Gallery in Amsterdam, Unseen Photo Fair, Fotofestival Naarden, Pakhuis de Zwijger, the Van Gogh Museum, and various exhibition spaces in London.
This work is from the series 'States of Glory' from 2019. In the States of Glory series, Gioia de Bruijn explores the American dream and the gradual erosion of the ideals on which it is built. With a distant, almost still view she captures a society that clings to its idea of grandeur, while signs of decay become increasingly visible. Her photographs reveal both the allure and the loneliness of contemporary America: from vast landscapes and iconic architecture to everyday scenes where beauty and disillusionment coexist. Without judgment, De Bruijn sketches a poetic and melancholic portrait of a country where the promise of glory still lives on, despite the visible cracks in its foundations.
Dimensions: 69 x 69 cm
Dimensions with frame: 73 x 73 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we employ restorers from the industry association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would be happy to hear from you.
