Lydmar Hotel + The PhotoGallery: an exhibition by Neeltje de Vries

The PhotoGallery is proud to present an extraordinary exhibition of photography by Neeltje de Vries at Lydmar Hotel in Stockholm.

De Vries is an Amsterdam-based photographer whose work is characterized by timeless narratives of women from the present, past, and future. Her photographs resemble film stills where nudity is a functional artistic choice that accentuates not only purity and a connection with nature but also literally liberates, and offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a woman, free from expectations, prejudices, roles, and stereotypes.

The exhibition runs from April 19 to September 8.

De Vries has a background in graphic design, which is clearly reflected in her aesthetic. Her photographs are characterized by geometric shapes and precise cropping. She strives to create balance in her images and often experiments with lines, shapes, and frames to highlight the unique character of her models.

"I take most pictures when I'm not photographing. It's in the subconscious. The women in my photographs represent a part of myself," says De Vries.

By breaking with traditional gender roles and stereotypes, de Vries challenges the male gaze and highlights the complexity and diversity of women. Her work offers a thought-provoking and inspiring insight into what it means to be a free and independent woman in the modern world.

We hope you will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition and experience Neeltje De Vries's work for yourself.
