"Hanneke Benade's figures seem contained and content, but, on closer examination, reveal an underlying tautness and tension. She offers little in the way of interpretation, and, as a viewer, one is forced to examine the images in terms of one's own references. Her work is particularly female, confident and, at times, subversive.

The artist states: "Portraits have always occupied a major part in my work. We spend much of our visual lives directing our gaze at others' faces. Somehow, every portrait I do is a self-portrait, and explores themes others can relate to - a state of inbetween."
