As Lonneke van der Palen herself says, “The minute I arrived in Capetown, South Africa, the plastic bags in the streets caught my eye immediately. Whether they are blown away by the wind, hanging in the trees or carried around by people, they gave a colourful addition to street life in a way I had never seen before. To me, a photographer trying to reveal the vibrant aesthetic of even the most mundane, they are a source of renewed amazement.”
A selection of works by Lonneke van der Palen are now available to purchase at SLEEK Art.
