The Decisive Moment and The Truth.
Art historians like to classify art into movements! The 21st
century, which has now been going on for 23 years, hasalready produced many art movements. An important aspect

4such as transposition of photographs over sandblasted woodcuts at the University of Alaska Fairbanks during 1994. She
also benefited from training under a grant from the Danish
Arts Foundation during 2002. She has held exhibitions at: Filosofgangen, Odense in 2009; Lyngby Kunstforening, Copenhagen in 2010; at Stege Bibliotek, Bispegarden Kalundborg,
Pakhuset, and Nykøbing Sjælland in 2011; at the Norske
Kirke, Copenhagen, in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
As a professional photographer, her works have been exhibited in group exhibitions in the House of the Holy Ghost,
Copenhagen, Odense’s Art Gallery Filosoffen and in Silkeborg.
In 2010 and 2015, the Lyngby Cultural Society (Lyngby Kunstforening) presented her works in solo exhibitions.

Society Today II, 2023, Lithograph, 23 x 29 cm
in contemporary art is social media.
Twiter (now X) is usually faster than the ofcial news
channels.
Many of my art works originate from a media message.
I use images and place them in a new context! Usually aconvincing and stronger framework! Using the rules in art.
The Golden Rato rule is also valid in the 21st century.
The most powerful and beautful philosophical comment on
the compositon is by Henri Carter-Bresson: “The Decisive
Moment” (1952).
By this brief philosophical sentence, Carter-Bresson
exclusively meant the compositon of the photo.
Carter-Bresson could not have predicted that 71 years later
photos would be automatcally generated. Arttcial intelligencehas made the assessment for “The Truth” more ditcult.
Completely tctonal images have become reality. A Deep AI
generator is considered dangerous! Ater all, convincing people
with a photo is very easy.
Even politcal decisions are made based on fake images.
The Ukraine images are convincing and real. The drama isreal, and takes place in our tme.
Art historians just have to come up with an “ism” for our art
movement!

KITTY DOOMERNIK, the Netherlands
Born at the beginning of World War II in a working-class family,
I grew up in an environment dominated by the Catholic Church.
Fortunately, my mother made me interested in literature, andwe had many books, which was unusual for a workers’ family
at that time. In contrast, my father was passionate about music,
and he played both classical and popular music on the trumpet
and the violin. As a result, music was a natural thing for me,with piano lessons from my 4th year. My formal education took
place at a nun’s school, after which I followed a middle andhigher vocational training at the Social Academy. This left mewith a lifelong interest in social phenomena and problems.
I started an art gallery around the beginning of the seventies,
managing this for over 9 years, and this stimulated anddeveloped my love for visual art. There, through my work withthe art world at that time, I was confronted with “compelling”
social views. I felt the need to respond, and that was
the starting point of my poetry, as well as of course the needto visualize these. poems. I was helped enormously here by mysecond husband, visual artist and sculptor Henk van Rooij (died2014), who encouraged me in every way to develop my artistry.
Starting with drawing and painting I soon found myown way of
expression: the collage in any form.
For me, being an artist also means, apart from my visual
work, that I stay in contact with other artists, both national andinternational. The exchange of ideas, artistic as well as social,is essential to me. This I do by being an artist in residence, byorganising exhibitions and symposia and of course by taking
part at group exhibitions, both at home and abroad.

The “Young Generation of Printmakers” project of the National Art Academy

in a cooperation with
University of British Columbia Okanagan, Canada
The students of the Printmaking Department of the National
Art Academy study all classical printmaking techniques –woodcut, intaglio techniques, and lithography as well as more
contemporary ones like screen print and digital print. They
are motivated to study the classical methods but also to experiment with new ways of printing and combine different approaches and techniques. As a teacher in that department,
I find it really important that the printmaking art is comprehended not just as a technology but also as a specific wayof creating the composition of an artwork and expressing its
message and concept.
The process of printmaking is so long and hard that it isusualy part of the artist personal life. This makes it my favourite way to explore art. It gives me pleasure and it connects
people no matter of cultural and distance differences.
Working with young artists is always exiting and in a stateof movement. They have an unique look of the surrounding
world. This makes the collection an interesting and in many
ways intimate journey. We are lucky to have the privilage toshow our project worldwide. Now more people can see what
inspires us, what are our thoughts and experiances. This is
the thing every artists wants – to reach more public and toshare his ideas, his reflections of the world.
Thanks to „Lessedra Art Gallery“ I had the opportunity to

2023
INES KAUFMANN, AUSTRIATHE ONSET OF VICINITY, SOLO SHOW, May 11 – June 11, 2023
The artist Ines Kaufmann (*1996 Carinthia,
lives and works in Vienna) studies in the class
Extended Painting Space with Daniel Richterat the Academy of Fine Arts. Her practice
explores the boundaries between figurative
compositions and the abstract effectiveness andperception of colors. Intermediate techniques
between collective image spheres and abstract
moments are manifested in a luminous interplay
of individual and collective body language.
An interplay between Dirtiness and Pureness,
Opening reception, in front Bulgarian
artists Rumyana Karastamova andtenderness and humor.
Georgi Gyoshev
The exhibition THE ONSET OF VICINITY
deals with bodily ensembles of emotional andspiritual events as a narrative collage of pictorial
representations.
What’s that to us?
What brings us together?
The playfulness in man, the seductive.
Constructions of playing with the body as
an injection of life. The artist fuses states ofsensuality as a puristic, true dramaturgy of the
moment of ecstasy and excess.

Ines Kaufmann
and Georgi Lessedra
