ABOUT CATHELIJN VAN GOOR
After receiving her BA in Fine Arts Education from the University of Amsterdam, Cathelijn van Goor attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at The Hague. Two years later, she graduated with a specialized degree combining drawing, lithography, and photography. Van Goor now lives and works in Amsterdam, where she creates large-scale drawings and paintings, as well as smaller works. Her latest graphite works on paper present futuristic images blurring the boundary between the figurative and the abstract. Van Goor is inspired by the way groups of people move through passing time. When she focuses on the individual figures, time appears to be finite. However, when the focus is shifted to the stream of passing figures, an atmosphere of eternity is created. These drawings, sketched from photographs taken with slow shutter speed, show human locomotion within urban landscape.
