Ina Fekken - work in paper
Art on the cutting edge...
Intro
In 1992 I graduated as an autonomous visual artist from the Minerva Academy in Groningen. Prior to this study, I completed a degree in environmental science at the Higher Agricultural School. This has determined the underlying theme in my work. The inescapable influence that humans have on nature/environment is my central motif. Nowadays I work almost exclusively in the material paper.
Jute, plastic, and what remains. | May 2-24 | Gallery Gewaagd
The first joint exhibition of the FiL Art Collective
An exhibition about value, transience, and texture by the FiL Art Collective at (formerly) Gewaagd, Gallery in Hornhuizen (the Netherlands).
Flos explores the beauty of contrast, a dialogue between honest, natural jute and the colorful, cheap plastics of our throwaway culture.
Ina explores the diversity of sustainable packaging materials, with jute and paper playing the leading roles.
A jute performance is in the works.
Léa is an authority on silk. She takes on the challenge of creating an artistic image with jute and silk materials.
You are welcome at the opening: Friday, May 1, 2026, at 4:00 PM.
Doors open at 3:00 PM, with snacks and drinks.

The exhibition shows how versatile paper cutting art can be, from traditional motifs to contemporary designs with the theme of water.
