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.
Gallery Tonger - exhibition 2026 with the series "Delusion"
My series "Delusion" was on display until the end of November at Museum het MOW during the exhibition "Lost".
Early next year, part of it, will be exhibited at gallery Tonger in Baard. "Delusion" is a tableau of works with the emphasis on various red list/rare plants that you cannot see "sharply".

Pictura Winter Salon 2026 | January 24 to February 22
Nearly thirty artists were selected to participate in the Winter Salon, primarily from the Northern Netherlands.
I bring the installation: Beware of Collapse!
The work consists of laser-engraved boxes featuring natural motifs. Flora, fauna, and soil are depicted. The installation was previously on display in other formats, including at the MOW Museum (2023), Kunst aan de Vaart (2024), and during Kunst aan Huis (2025). The meaning and form of the installation changes in response to the existing interior.

Arts center K38 presents "Power of Paper" | February 7 to March 8
The exhibition participants are: Ferry Staverman, Lisette Durenkamp, Elsa Visser, Ria van Krieken, Astrid Vlasman, Ingrid Fischer, and myself (Ina Fekken).
I will be showcasing small and large dioramas. These are hand- or laser-cut and based on forms from nature. The focus will be on works related to water. Just like paper, they are simultaneously fragile and powerful.
