Roos Campman
Paint
Campman's (1964) work consists of large, stylized surfaces. They are intimate subjects - flowers, faces - but due to the enlargement and simplification they lose that personal touch. Campman therefore calls her work non-narrative: she is interested in light, attitude, environment, color, and those kinds of formal matters that have to end up on the canvas in the right way so that in the next stage there is room for emotions such as desire. She works with the laborious tempera technique, a matt type of paint that requires a very precise painter's hand.
