Laura Reiman (1981)
Jong Talent 2008, Rietveld Amsterdam.
While studying cultural anthropology I became more and more fascinated by the visual aspect of other cultures. The imagery of these 'other places' comes across as being almost abstract in some cases, because we are not too familiar with what we are seeing. There is certainly a world of meening attached to the image, though we are more absorbed by the strangeness of the image itself.
I have started to apply this way of looking to other types of imagery as well. I still use anthoroplogical/ documentary images as a source for my paintings, but I also use news images, family pictures, or images from my direct surroundings. The combination of these themes makes up new stories, with a totally new context, that is mostly based on association rather than meaning.
There is a continuous dialoge going on between the paintings themselves, in relation to each other, and the source material they come from. In that sense they are never finished. I see my paintings as a continuing storieboard that keeps generating new meaning over time, rather than independent works of art.
