The Amsterdam based artist, Hanneke Treffers aka Handiedan has been staying busy with art shows, print releases and interviews. Although she graduated in photographic design from the Academy of Art and Design St Joost in the Netherlands, her art expands into many formats and mediums. Her marks have a very graphic quality which when collaged with old music sheet, money and other unused relics give a feeling of contemporary antiquity.

The Posters and Prints blog describes Handiedan’s “incredible way of composing her art pieces, part burlesque, part wild wild west, part lust, part greed.” You will get a lot of chances to see Handiedan’s work, with an interview on Arrested Motion, several group exhibitions around the world, and a screen print release with Phone Booth Gallery.

Handiedan will take part in a group exhibition called “Elements” which includes French artist, Amose and UK based artist Rourk Van Dal. The exhibition will be at Art Asylum Boston. The show is “representing the fundamentals in mixing art and imagination! Collage and assemblage art are compositions of various elements (such as paper, wood, fabric, and other found objects) fused together for an amazing result of aesthetic beauty.”
