Tessa Lieffering makes small colourful paintings in which the big themes of war and misery are made visible in a subtle fashion. She mixes symbols and figures from earlier centuries and our own time. Stories on treason, fear and powerlessness are woven into the paint, made visible in the texture. Small details, almost invisible emotions, are sometimes hidden under mountains of paint, next to which subtle pen drawings hold their own effortlessly. The show opens today at 16.00 in the Vrijhof, where students will sing a mix of medieval and contemporary origin, and can be seen until 4 December.
