Just Yvette

Yvette van den Boogaard, 1968, NL,
lives and works in OT Unterkatz, Germany

The restless pursuit of personal identity best describes Just Yvette’s abstract expressionist art. According to the artist, Her quest results in constant experimentation with the act of creating itself – the most significant good. By using conventional materials in unconventional ways, Yvette has established her own unique visual language; no means are off-limits. ‘My work is about human behaviour, about how we try to connect, how we interact, how we love, how we long, how we desire, how we distract, how we look back at our personal history, how we deal with pain, how we hope for better things, how we protect ourselves behind masks. “It is a cry, it is a laugh. In a weird way, it displays social issues”
