One million postcards

Meer over het boek

Lisa Ruyter combines photography, painting and film in large-format paintings of everyday scenes of industry or leisure. She ironically follows a paint-by-numbers palette ignoring the demands of an appropriate color scheme. The photographic origin of her work remains mysteriously decontextualized, and her paintings take on the impression of film stills, reinforced by her titles, which are often borrowed from films or books. The book includes her work from 1998-2004.
