The connecting factor within the diversity of the drawings of Monique van den Hout is the expression of emotion. The medium is the raw, powerful energy of her lines. Through her own, specific handwriting she gives shape to human figures that get the desired expression through the use of human and animal characteristics and elements. The eyes, the gaze, the body language are central. Recurring themes within her work are freedom and contact. With yourself. With the other. The search for this. The looking, both outside and inside.
