Yvonne Oerlemans
Dutch sculptor and video artist
Yvonne Oerlemans (31 December 1945 - 14 September 2012) was a Dutch sculptor and video artist who has been active in the field of video art, installations and objects since 1982. Oerlemans created a diverse oeuvre that has been exhibited worldwide. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hague (1974–79) and at the video workshop of the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht (1983). In 1985 she was awarded a prize for her artistic career at the Aarhus International Video Festival & Competition.[1] Oerlemans' early artworks deal with the human condition in a metaphorical and philosophical way. Her videos are characterized by a paradoxical sense of humor. The works are usually short, compact and mostly shot in a studio with a static camera.
