EVENTS

YOUR EVENT CAN BECOME A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE

In Iris Bakker Studio we offer a series of different artworks suited for events. Common to these works are the experience and the connection the drawing creates between the participants and the artist. Iris Bakker uses various techniques as she portrays the guests at a festival, visitors at a museum or your relatives at your wedding. The artwork is interactive and the intense experience of being observed as you are being portrayed is the primary piece at these events.

Below you can see some of the events we have done and get an idea of experiences that would make your next event memorable.

“One of my techniques is blind drawing which means that I am drawing without looking at the paper. The tension between both being stared at and being documented by a stranger often creates an intense situation.”
– Iris Bakker
