Christine den Hartogh

Christine, originally from the Netherlands, brings a rich background in documentary photography and photojournalism to New Zealand. Her work now spans photography, mixed media, botanical printing and printmaking. Transitioning from grainy black-and-white, wide angle documentary photography to vibrant abstraction, she creates bold, immersive works. The large works allow viewers to be enveloped in the experience. The pieces range from serene and tranquil to vibrant and energetic and can be appreciated purely for their visual appeal or challenge the viewer's mind to create its own narrative, offering a momentary escape and a sense of solace from the weight of today’s world.
