Ilse D'Hollander,Created during a very brief period, from 1989 until her early, unexpected and tragic death at the age of 29, Ilse D'Hollander’s oeuvre exhibits a highly developed sense of color, composition, scale and surface, through the use of subtle tones and pared down compositions. An artist’s artist, her canvases and works on paper favor abstraction, yet subtly allude to the everyday, hinting at nature and the landscape of the Flemish countryside where she spent the last and most productive years of her life.
D’Hollander’s subtly evocative canvases have drawn comparisons to work as various as that of early Piet Mondrian, Nicolas de Staël and Raoul De Keyser - whom she regarded as a friend - her work is distinguished by its contemplative tranquility, ethereal quality and brilliant, deceptive simplicity. The intimate scale of her canvases invites the viewer to embrace a highly personal relationship with the work, where multiple layers of paint, visible brushstrokes and trembling lines of color reveal D’Hollander’s tangible and sensual exploration of the act of painting. In the only text she penned about her work, D’Hollander wrote that, “A painting comes into being when ideas and the act of painting coincide. When referring to ideas, it implies that as a painter, I am not facing my canvas as a neutral being but as an acting being who is investing into the act of painting. My being is present in my action on the canvas.”
伊爾莎·D'霍蘭德 Ilse D'Hollander，創作於1989年的一個非常短暫的時期，直到她在29歲時意外和不幸的逝世，Ilse D'Hollander的作品表現出高度發達的色彩，構圖，規模和表面感，通過使用微妙的色調，減少組成。一位藝術家的藝術家，她的畫布和紙上作品有利於抽象，但巧妙地暗示了日常生活，暗示著佛蘭德鄉村的自然和風景，在那裡她度過了她生命中最後和最富有成效的歲月。
德蘭·霍蘭德的微妙的回憶畫作與比德蒙德里安，尼古拉斯·德·斯塔埃爾和勞爾·德凱澤等人的作品相比，作為一個朋友，她的作品以沉思的寧靜，空靈的品質，簡單。她的油畫的親密的規模邀請觀眾擁抱與作品的高度私人的關係，多層油漆，可看見的筆觸和顫抖的顏色的線路顯示D'Hollander對繪畫行為的實實在在和感性的探索。德蘭·霍蘭德在她所寫的唯一一篇關於她的作品的文章中寫道：“當繪畫的思想和繪畫行為重合時，就會出現一幅繪畫。當提到想法的時候，它意味著作為一個畫家，我不是作為一個中立的人面對我的畫布，而是作為一個投身於繪畫行為的演員。我的存在正在我的行動中出現在畫布上。“
