Studio A- Anouk Jonker

Born in the Netherlands, Anouk is currently an MA student at Queen’s University in Technical Art History. Although she continues her work as a portrait artist, her recent paintings reference issues in Western Art History, including early controversial methods of art conservation. She works primarily with oils on canvas with an impasto technique, but also likes to sketch, dab, drizzle, and erase. The paintings offer ambiguous narratives by piecing together various historical references such as Dutch still-lives and early 19^th century photographs. https://www.anoukjonker.com/
