Hendrik Kerstens work at Nunc Contemporary
Hendrik Kerstens Biography
Since 1995, Dutch photographer Hendrik Kerstens has been photographing his daughter, Paula. His photographs have been collected by museums around the world and have inspired taste-makers as diverse as Elton John and Alexander McQueen. (McQueen, in fact based his Fall 2009 collection on Kerstens’ image of Paula with a plastic bag as a head-dress, using the image as his invitation for the show.)
Hendrik Kerstens uses his daughter as his model, immortalizing her, picturing her in relation to events in her own life as well as projecting onto her his fascination with the Dutch Master painters of the seventeenth century. Conceptually, Kerstens’ photographs play with the dialog between the mediums of painting and photography, with seriality, and time. On a more emotional level, they address everyday reality while expressing his love for his child, and the knowledge and development of his craft.
His ‘Paula Pictures’, one of which won the PANL Award in 2001, are reminiscent of Vermeer’s painting. The austerity and clarity of the photographs, coupled with the serenity of the subject and the characteristic ‘dutch’ light all combine to create striking, beautiful and haunting works of art. However, Kerstens was not just imitating painting. As the series progressed, he became increasingly interested in the game of creating a conceptual and humorous dialog between past and present. The titles give the game away. “Napkin” looks like a maid’s bonnet. In “Bag”, a plastic grocery bag is shaped to look like a lace hood. In other pictures no pretense is made to imitate 17th century clothing but Paula’s face and Kerstens’ light turn a thoroughly modern hoodie into a classic and timeless garment.
Kerstens won second prize in the 2008 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize for his iconic work ‘Bag’ which is shown at the National Portrait Gallery. Born in the Hague in 1956, he is a self taught photographer whose work has been exhibited in over 40 exhibitions across Europe and the United States. Hendrik’s work ‘Bag’ is currently featured in ‘Do or Die: The Human Condition In Painting and Photography’ at the Wallraf Museum, Köln. 17th September – 19th January.
