Harry Agema (Agema-art)

Bergen N.H., Netherlands
Artist (Sculpture, Design)
Born 1946

Harry Agema is a contemporary Dutch artist. Harry's academic path led him to teacher training at VL-VU, where he honed his skills in plastic forms, ceramics, and art/cultural history. Upon completing his education, he made a decisive leap into the world of a visual artist, setting the stage for a lifelong exploration of artistic expression.

Over the course of more than three decades, Harry Agema has consistently drawn inspiration from the lines and contours of his own hands. These handlines, his visual starting point, have become the canvas upon which he paints the abstract "score" of his body's rhythm, marked by the cadence of his breathing and heartbeat. The fisted or folded hands, in particular, serve as the foundation for his diverse portfolio, encompassing paintings, graphics, mixed techniques, and drawings.

Intriguingly, Harry has coined these compositions as 'x,' 'y,' or 'xy,' each representing the interplay of chromosomes and hereditary characteristics. The 'x' symbolizes the female chromosome (xx), while 'y' signifies the male counterpart (xy = male). It's a conceptual journey into the duality of existence, the interplay of femininity and masculinity, and the complex tapestry of life's inherent contradictions.

Harry's artistry revolves around the exploration of polarities that he either seeks to harmonize or disentangle. In the realm of the feminine, he discovers expression and intuition, while the masculine embodies reason and order. These profound reflections harken back to ancient contradictions personified by the gods Dionysus and Apollo, who symbolized opposing aspects of human nature. These age-old dualities resonate not only within individuals but also in the broader context of the natural world.
