'The Atlas of Textscapes' presents a forty-year overview of Tanja Smit’s text drawings, created directly on magazine articles and newspaper pages. The result is a striking collection of visual patterns and a wide-ranging exploration of layout, language, and meaning. At once critical and poetic, the work is both an investigation into the structure of text and an ode to language, slowness, and the fading presence of print in contemporary life. Tanja Smit (1961, NL) is a visual artist whose work explores the intersections of language, music, and image. Trained at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, she has expanded her practice over four decades to include text-based drawings, photography, video, and sound performance. Her work is held in the collections of Museum Gouda, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, MACBA Barcelona, and various public and private collections worldwide.
