Lotte Teussink is a 28-year-old Dutch visual artist, living and working in Rotterdam. Her work consists of drawings and paintings, taking peaceful scenery of eg. a house, a car and a clothes-line, and alienating it by using awkward colours, forms and placing. For the series called Grave Expectations she took various different small drawings from her dummy and made it into one, almost like a collage. This makes it a lovely explosion of little absurdities. www.lotteteussink.nl
