Artist Statement:
After receiving her Fine Arts
degree in the graphic arts,
Nicolette Arens has gradually
moved away from graphic
techniques to drawing and
painting. Although her
background in graphics can
still be seen in the colouring
and style of much of her work,
the formal accentuation of
bright colours against thick
black lines is gradually
giving way to a looser, freer
style, which is most evident
in her drawings and paintings
of chickens.

core of Arens’ work. She is
especially fond of islands,
lighthouses and the borderline
between land and sea with all
its inhabitants (puffins are a
leitmotif in her work). Her
art is a study of form and
colour: “What particularly
interests me is the
interaction of the visual
elements of lines, shapes,
tones and colours”. By
introducing a kaleidoscopic
aspect into her landscapes and
leaving out unnecessary
details, she creates an
unusual atmosphere in which
the individual forms appear
abstract while the whole
remains figurative in nature.
Chickens have slowly but
surely captured a special
place in Arens’ work. After
she started keeping chickens
