Ingrid Baars 1969

At first sight one would be tempted to categorize the images of Ingrid Baars under the heading of mere photography. Photography actually makes up only a part of IB’s “mixed media technique”. The computer has a leading role. It’s here that she combines the results of her photo-shoots. She drastically manipulates and reworks the material untill a final image is created, built up by numerous different elements, even traces of her oil paintings.
Ingrid Baars is a Dutch artst who lives & works in Antwerp, Belgium.
