“Covid-blue is the light at the end of the tunnel.” 

As a visual artist I explore the combination of figurative images with abstract color fields. I’m interested in how they reinforce, affect and agitate each other. By disrupting the image I want to slow down the viewer, thereby intensifying their process of visual exploration. A ‘slow-watching’ you might say.

Gabrielle Kroese (1963, Rotterdam) is an artist, color hunter and photographer with a (vegetable) garden. Her artistic practice consists of painting, photography, (self)publishing, slow-watching and color research.

In addition, she was a member of several art advisory committees and coached some masterclass students.

Kroese worked as artist in residence in Reykjavik, Iceland (2015), Itoshima, Japan (2018) and the Sierra de Maria, Spain (2024)
