ingrid deuss
Ingrid Deuss’s name is synonymous with initiative, innovative vision, flexibility and engagement in multiple fields. She is no ordinary gallery owner, but devotes much of her energy to her role as an independent art buyer. She closely follows new developments in Belgian and international photography and has an extensive network, and this enables her to manage photo shoot production flawlessly and match up the right artists with her clients. In autumn 2010 she also opened her own photography gallery in Antwerp, as a platform and presentation space for Belgian and international artists. She chooses her guests with enormous care, including both upcoming talent and established names. The selected photographers are invariably characterised by their great artistic sensitivity, springing from a blend of wilfulness and personal expression. Ingrid Deuss is adept at spotting artists who explore uncharted territory in fashion or advertising photography, or the various possibilities of portrait photography. Text by Sofie Crabbé
