Women in Academia (2021-2022, linocut)
Academia

The Women in Academia portraits are made by Tilburg-based artist Ivo van Leeuwen (1969) in the academic year 2021-2022. It is a series of powerful and expressive linocut portraits of the Philip Eijlander Diversity Fellows.

Ivo van Leeuwen is a graphic artist, painter, and illustrator, specializing in portraits and pictograms. His technique is the linocut, in which an image is cut out of a piece of linoleum. The linoleum is re-used leftover material from an educational institution; a great way to recycle material.
