- Elisabeth Francisca Maria (Els) Bannenberg (Heerlen, 1948) is a Dutch painter, graphic artist and textile artist.
In 1975, Bannenberg graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. In 1979, she participated in an exhibition by new members of the Amsterdam artists' association Arti et Amicitiae; in 1983, she exhibited "Textile in Motion" at the Cosa Gallery in Delft.
In 1986, Bannenberg's work was purchased as part of the 'Gemeenteaankopen II Amsterdam' [source?] and she participated in the accompanying exhibition at Arti et Amicitiae, of which she has remained a member ever since, frequently participating in exhibitions. In 1997, she had a solo exhibition at the Sociëteit Arti et Amicitiae. From 2003 onwards, she participated in the Amsterdam artist group Art-abstract and its joint exhibitions.
Textiles are her first medium, which she begins to screen-print. Graphics are also initially her preferred medium. Only then does she begin to paint more on paper and canvas.[citation needed] A quote from her from 1984: Textiles offer other possibilities than paper. These can be combinations with washing out, printing wet areas, showing the back, applying relief, stitching lines, tensile stress, or stretching transparent areas over each other.
Since 1985, the Dutch landscape has been a key motif in Bannenberg's paintings; the Dutch horizontal character of the landscape offers her attractive abstract structures. Bannenberg also has an unmistakable mathematical predilection; simple geometric shapes like the cone, the circle, and the triangle frequently feature prominently in her paintings. She generally prefers small sizes for her paintings.
From 2004 onward, urban subjects, such as housing blocks, city gardens, and shop windows, became increasingly important to her art. Photography also plays an important role for Bannenberg, both as an independent art form alongside her painting and as a means of collecting imagery for her paintings.
