Inge Prins van Wijngaarden
In her artworks, Inge reflects on how she experiences and sees life. She reflects on themes
that concern her: from essentials to daily trifles, often with a touch of humor. Her sources of
inspiration are nature, human behavior and the properties of materials. Sustainability is at
the heart of everything she makes. She stands for a conscious approach to the environment
and that is why she only works with environmentally friendly or recycled materials.
Because these materials are very diverse, she uses different techniques to bring them to life.
Intensive materials research is an important part of her work process. For Inge, art is about
inspiring each other and expressing emotions.

ZERO waste,
The zero waste series is a result of advanced research into working with corrugated board.
Inge wanted to show the color and purity of the material in this series. In the month of July
she exhibits this work at: Bos Fine Art , The Hague.
As a viewer, confusion arises and the question is: "what am I looking at". Through this
confusion they hope to reach others to think about their own use and consumption of
materials. She does not believe in imposing behavior. With this work she hopes to inspire
people to approach and use materials in the visual arts in a sustainable way.

Curator Maud Oonk , Exhibition SeeYou@ART Amsterdam:
Inge plays with what you can see in accidentally created forms. This is what you call
pareidolia. A form of illusion in which you think you perceive recognizable things. A wellknown example is seeing a face in the moon. With the colors harmony and structure in her
work, she reinforces the illusion that the shapes 'mean something'.
With the knotting work she also plays with what you think what 'should'. Buttons belong to a
blouse or jeans, but by combining hundreds of buttons, a new image is created. If you stare at
it any longer, you forget even the function of the knots and it becomes an image in itself.
