Karin Hanssen
° 1960
Lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium.
Karin Hanssen paints primarily with oil on canvas. She draws her inspiration from art history, literature, sociology and public photographic sources from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Using this retrospective, Hanssen reflects on social relations, gender constructions and the voyeuristic gaze of the past and present. The scenes, which focus on human interaction, take place in both the private sphere and in public space.
