LAMPE, Adalbert - Hrvatski biografski leksikon - LZMK

One of the standout moments for me at this year's Armory Show was discovering the work of Dutch artist Katinka Lampe at Ron Mandos Gallery. It wasn't just me—the booth drew a lot of attention, and it’s easy to see why. Lampe has carved out a unique space in the international art scene with her striking, figurative paintings that seamlessly fuse classical technique with contemporary themes of identity, social relations, and the fluidity of self.

Born in Tilburg in 1963 and now based in Rotterdam, she’s exhibited her work across the globe—from New York to Seoul—captivating audiences with her deeply thoughtful approach to portraiture.

But don’t call her pieces just portraits.
