Photographer
and educator Hans Staartjes presents a series of photographic and
digital explorations in this Lawndale exhibition. The simultaneously
elegant and abstract imagery found in this series of work stems from
the artist's own personal observations of his immediate surroundings.
Staartjes's stylistic photographs provide the viewer with a medium
through which the imagination can wander. Hans Staartjes was born
in Aruba and was raised in Bogota, Colombia. He received a BA in
English and Philosphy from the University of Birmingham in England
in 1979 and an MFA from the University of Houston in 1996. Since
earning his graduate degree, Staartjes has taken numerous courses
in graphics at the Houston Community College. His work has been featured
at Pulchri Studio (Netherlands); Houston Center for Photography (Houston,
TX); Blaffer Gallery (Houston, TX); Galveston Arts Center (Galveston,
TX); and San Francisco Camerawork (San Francisco, CA).
