Noor von Winckelmann is a Belgian visual artist who focuses primarily on printmaking. She is inspired by light, a fascinating phenomenon that forms the basis of her current work. Light reflections, refractions and shadows guides her work together with her fascination for the interaction between light and matter. In her artistic practice, she is always looking for opportunities to capture this fluctuating, elusive source and its beauty. With the medium of printmaking, she translates this abstract and changeable manifestation onto paper. It is a changing and infinite quest in which she tries to project her personal vision on the concept of light. Telling a story of light. Von Winckelmann’s recent series of prints, the ‘Ando series’, shown here for the first time, is one of the results from her two-month long residency at the Mokuhanga School in Karuizawa, Japan. There she learned the craft of the Japanese woodcut technique, mokuhanga. While making the ‘Ando series’ she was inspired by the abstract presence of light and shadow in Japanese architecture, specifically the buildings of the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. In her prints, she uses the character of the wood and mokuhanga technique to create an abstract image of light that emphasizes the structural beauty of Ando’s buildings. Von Winckelmann graduated from Sint Lucas Antwerp school of arts in 2022 with a master’s degree in Fine Art Printmaking. She had her first solo exhibition in 2021 with Curating The Young at Opek in Leuven, Belgium. And multiple group shows including ‘To Be Antwerp’ and ‘Artists as Independent Publishers’ exhibiting in Antwerp, London, Bremen, Vienna, Halle and Tokyo.
