Join us at Good Company Bookstore for an Art Exhibition Opening, featuring the work of an artist Anna Lubbinge!
The Exhibition "A Zona Mia"
This body of work emerges from a formative journey to the Amazon in 2025, where I was confronted with the depth of our disconnection from the natural world. It revealed not only how much remains unknown, but how much has been forgotten. Within Western frameworks, nature is often positioned as something external, an “other”, a separation that echoes broader dualistic thinking. I am interested in exploring interconnectedness as an alternative: a way of understanding human and non-human life as fundamentally entangled. Through painting, I seek to question these perspectives and imagine more integrated ways of relating. My visual language draws on tropical vegetation: its intensity of color, rhythm, and vitality, contrasting with the landscapes of my upbringing in the Netherlands. This attraction is both aesthetic and intuitive: a search for connection that exists beyond language, grounded in sensation, presence, and a sense of belonging. My compositions emphasize color, rhythm, and atmosphere, creating spaces that invite both visual immersion and quiet reflection.
About the Artist
Anna Lubbinge (b. 2000) is a Dutch artist working primarily in painting. Her practice explores the space between imagination and lived reality through invented imagery that merges everydaylandscapes with constructed, dreamlike environments. She graduated in Fine Arts from Breda (NL) in 2023 and is currently based in Lisbon. Lubbinge has presented a solo exhibition in Lisbon and participated in group exhibitions in Breda and Eindhoven. She has also undertaken a residency in Alte (Algarve) and contributed to art-focused ecological projects in Brazil and Peru. Her work draws on the visual language of tropical ecosystems, depicting dense vegetation in dialogue with geometric, urban forms. Recent works extend into sculptural framing, incorporating techniques such as macramé, knotting, and jewelry making.
