ART STATEMENT

Joyce van Tienen’s (1976) projects focus on mainly on the grace of  inner worlds. Her urge to reveal what is beyond borders and behind facades originates from a general aversion against the hypocracy of man.  In this, she skillfully balances between manifesting naked authenticity and episodic poetry. With brisk and aesthetic imagery she fluently explores the poetic beauty of the ordinary and the recognisable drama of the insignificant.

Her current favourite subject of photgraphy is ‘family’.  The storyline that runs through her series is mostly negligible in comparison to the forceful, yet implicit display of relationships between relatives. Intimate moments, alternated by recognisable details of habits, subtle gestures and tokens of personal history are best explored in the familiar and trusted setting of home. Without disturbing discourse, Joyce van Tienen brings a calm but touching portray of depth in a moment, forcing the beholder to stand still and re-discover the maybe long-forgotten acquainted.
