ING Art's commissions of 2021
In 2021 ING Art again gave a number of commissions to various artists. Here are a few of the artworks, made by Vera Gulikers, Hadassah Emmerich, Joyce ter Weele and Kevin Osepa.
Comissions
To ensure that all the offices and the ING-houses, have their own and distinctive appearance, artists are often given commissions to create an artwork especially made for an ING-building. This creates a uniform, yet unique atmosphere in all ING buildings. Commissions are also an ideal way to support artists and young talent.

Vera Gulikers
In het werk zien we een geabstraheerde herinterpretatie van Loïs Mailou Jones’ Bazar du Quai, Port-Au-Prince. Hoewel het originele werk nog steeds te zien is, heeft Gulikers er haar eigen dynamische en kleurrijke draai aan gegeven. De kunstenares onderzoekt in haar werk de relatie tussen stereotype huiselijke (“vrouwelijke”) activiteiten en kunst. Gulikers maakte dit werk speciaal voor ING-huis Maasricht.
Hadassah working on the wall painting
Hadassah Emmerich
Hadassah's design consists of a series of brightly colored shapes, which refer to fruits, plants and body parts. Figurative and abstract elements alternate in the festive and tropical-looking wall painting, while the yellow background creates a warm glow. The work symbolizes a never-ending abundance, with the papaya as a symbol of health, strength and wealth. With this message, the work fits perfectly at an entrance to the Maple office building in Amsterdam South-East, giving employees a positive start to their day.
Joyce ter Weele
This work was made especially for the ING house in Groningen, and that is clearly visible. With her recognizable style, in which Joyce ter Weele combines different techniques and materials, she has created her own representation of the city of Groningen. The artist works with charcoal, pen, pencil, photography and the brush; everything, however, only on paper. In this special work we see several striking places in Groningen, such as the Martini tower, and a small ING lion is hidden.
