Annick Lizein (Belgium, 1973), 1 September - 1 December 2009

Annick Lizein makes paintings, drawings and silk screens. At the Rijksakademie she works as a guest resident in the print workshop. In her silk screens she revisits the same subject that fascinates her in her paintings. For, Lizein's work focuses on the phenomenon of the image’s appearance and disappearance, the degree of visibility of the image. Furthermore, she will use her work period at the Rijksakademie to explore new possibilities of working with the transparency of paints.
