Ellen Schippers creates inner portraits of women in a mysterious atmosphere, which gives the viewers room for their own associations and emotions. Her work is about female images, ideals of beauty and about the contradiction between self-image and authenticity. Schippers creates a fantasy world by connecting different art disciplines in her work: performance, video, wearable sculptures, installations, photo’s.
She started her career with Life Performances in galleries, theaters and festivals in the Netherlands and abroad like: De Kleine Komedie, De Brakke Grond, Panama, Escape, the Melkweg, Paradiso, Mazzo, Maison Descartes (French Cultural Embassy) and the Vondelpark Open Air Theatre in Amsterdam, the Hippodrome Theatre in Londen, the World Science Fiction Congress and the Wiener Sommer Symposion in Vienna.
Since 2008 Ellen Schippers creates video art, installations and photo’s. Her work was exhibited at the Photoville Festival in New York, the International Athens Video Art Festival, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Redleaf Gallery Londen, Swiss Art Space Lausanne and the Affordable Art Fair Londen. She had solo-exhibitions of her projects: Image&I-magic (2008), Frauensehnsucht (2010) and Snowwhite&Sherazade (2012). In 2010 Schippers was the main artist in the International Women Art Festival in Aleppo (Syria).
Ellen Schippers creates inner portraits of women in a mysterious atmosphere, which gives the viewers room for their own associations and emotions.
She is chosen by GUP (Guide Unique Photography) as New Dutch Photography Talent 2014.
Background
Ellen Schippers was educated in textile art in Amsterdam, in performance-art, fashion and textile art at the Vrije Academie of The Hague and in video at Open Studio in Amsterdam. Since 2009 Schippers is a member of the Artist Society Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam
Christiaan Vogelaars, curator museum de Lakenhal in Leiden, about Frauensehnsucht: “It is very symbolic and it makes me think of Gustav Klimt.
Her work has a cosmic side”
Bianca du Mortier, curator Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, about Image & I-magic:
“Ellen Schippers does not fear to play with taboos and fantasies, either. This play with feelings and physical appearance is what makes her work so powerful”

Hidden Desires Exhibition
The story behind Hidden Desire:
Inner portraits, different faces of women, the hiding, the inner feelings and thoughts. My aim is to make these inner feelings and thoughts visible.
Snowwhite Exhibition
The story behind Snowwhite & Sherazade:
The theme Snowwhite & Sherazade (2012) came from my exhibition in Aleppo, Syria, where I have participated in the International Women Art Festival 2010. The audience associated my work with a fairy tale. Therefore I decided to dig deeper into the Oriental and Western fairy tales. The contradiction between the active sensual Sherazadeand the passive dreaminess of Snowwhite is fascinating.
Sherazade Exhibition
Lost in Transition Exhibition
The story behind Lost in Transition:
A woman appearing like a mirage from the fog and seems to disappear again. At the boundary of being or not being.
