Description from the seller

"His Chair" is part of the series: "Het Hondenkabinet". It is a print on high-quality Hahnemühle Baryta and is mounted on PVC, framed in an antique frame. The size of the photo is 40x50 cm and it is the first edition of 25 copies.

Het Hondenkabinet arose from a daily observation: in the park where the photographer lives, dogs are walked day in and day out. Ursula became fascinated by the people behind the leashes and invited dog owners with their pets into her studio. For some, a dog is a child, a full-fledged family member—almost human. That is exactly how they were photographed: with dignity, character and a touch of theatrical grandeur.

The series received attention from local press and in LINDA Magazine. Ursula’s studio is located in a monumental building on the IJssel in the Hanseatic city of Kampen.

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
