Lea van Vlodrop and Simon Scharinger are both fourth-year students of Fine Art Painting at the AKI, Academy for Art&Design in Enschede. We regularly give students from the AKI the opportunity to show their work in the exhibition spaces of Vrijhof. And every time a feast for the mind, young artists, in development who show us with an open mind what they think about, what moves them.

Simon Scharinger is an Austrian artist with more than a decade of experience in the creative field. As a Designer, he has worked on corporate designs, editorial projects, digital interfaces (UI/UX), photography, and conceptual pieces. The transition from working as an UI/UX Designer for multiple years, to Fine Art marked a profound shift, guiding him into the intimate language of painting.
The expressions he performs are about forms of immediacy, transforming the inside out—raw & brute; no obscurance—surpassing this swallowing, silencing mode of deflection. Using the canvas in his practice as a filter which absorbs, a web that traps what otherwise gets through but never really leaves. That which stays is a remembrance of what cannot be ignored, should not be avoided & must not be denied. The expressive gesture concentrates into a (re)mark, imprints like scars left behind on the canvas. A reverent of itself, in itself, by itself, for itself & to itself. Not what you see is what you get but what is left is what you end up with. The ultimum, the afterimage, carefully following its traces.
