Graphic Surgery consists of Amsterdam based artists Erris Huigens and Gysbert Zijlstra. Around 2000, during art academy, we discovered that the contemporary city was our mutual source of inspiration. Both capturing this by taking similar photographs of abstract compositions: construction sites, details of eroded rusty surfaces and modern (industrial) architecture. We decided to work together as artists; later we also set up a graphic design studio named EHGZ.
Photography still forms the foundation of our work. We deconstruct bits and pieces from our photos and reconstruct them intuitively into altered images by use of scanning, digital editing, printing, photocopying and stencil technique. We started referring to this self sufficient process as graphic surgery. This cut and paste approach has manifested itself through different techniques applied on a wide range of vintage materials, for instance: collage, painting, drawing, screenprinting, etching and digital printing.
Our work has been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout the Netherlands, but also in Paris, Brussels, and Luxemburg. Currently we are collaborating on various projects with several interaction and multimedia artists.
