Artist's book presentation Olga Westrate *Artist's book presentation Olga Westrate* Research visual language digital media *Opening: Saturday 29 June, 5 p.m. From 29 June to 27 July 2019* BOEKIE WOEKIE books by artists Westrate's work is a mix of traditional and new media. She investigates whether traditional drawing is an addition to her way of working (and vice versa). Westrate focuses on creating its own digital visual language, a new digital form. By experimenting with drawing with felt-tip pen on photos and digitizing the drawings, she tries to portray the imperfection, the feeling, the emotion, in the digital environment without losing the digital appearance. The starting point for this book is one photo. Westrate photographs exclusively with mobile phone cameras. The first six prints were edited with felt-tip pen, then the same photo was digitally edited on the computer. The book consists of fifty images, in an edition of ten numbered copies. Two more books follow in this series: in the second book the starting point is felt-tip pen drawings that are digitally edited. In the third book the works originate on the computer, designed from the imagination. For Westrate, digital working opens up new possibilities for expression: "Digital technology is just as fast as my imagination". The variations of imagination are endless. You can work immediately and spontaneously. Westrate works with simple techniques, both digital and traditional. Olga Westrate is a visual artist. She is currently working on a ten-year project. In 2020 this project will be concluded with a multimedia installation. Here, displayed and yet to be performed works from the past ten years come together. She is also working on studies for a virtual reality project. It is about imagining the subconscious of the individual and how this relates to the collective subconscious. What is the impact of actions of the individual and group subconscious on the environment, society, the masses and the big picture. Westrate shapes this raw area, the power of the incomprehensible and elusive mind, the things that cannot be told or are difficult to tell and therefore hardly come to the surface.
