Alers makes casts of human body parts and constructs them into new sculptures, vases, reliefs, seating objects and installations. Her work has previously been on display at Collectible Art Fair, Art Zuid, PAN Amsterdam, Big Art, Rademakers Gallery and foreign exhibitions in cities such as Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp and Copenhagen. Alers plays with the viewer’s expectations. her work attracts visually, drawing you nearer, but it also gets under your skin. It is an exploration of contradictory moods of sensuality and unsettling feelings, a quest for the raw and ambiguous spaces in both body and psyche. By pushing and stretching the sculptured body from within, it raises tension and vulnerability in the material. The visceral glazes and the specific combination of colors refer to redefining the skin of the sculpture. See less
