Title: Do you like me now?
Description: Artist Katinka Lampe traverses the figurative, expressionist and abstract art of painting. At first glance, her paintings seem to be realistic portraits, but resemblance is not the most defining feature of her work. The subjects we see do not represent the individual. They are rather visual impressions that, once transformed by Katinka's gaze, stand for larger themes in society, such as identity, social relations, youth culture and colour. 'Do you like me now?' offers an overview of Katinka's work from the past 20 years. The book also includes texts by various people from the art world, such as gallery owner Ron Mandos, NRC newspaper art critic Lucette ter Borg and AkzoNobel Art Foundation director Hester Alberdingk Thijm. They share their impressions and perspectives on Katinka's work with us.
