About the Item

This painting by Astrid Ritmeester belongs to a series she has called 'Memories' Ritmeester also works as a costume and graphic designer for theatre productions. Astrid Ritmeester makes paintings and textile objects. The paintings are very special in subject and approach. Theatrical lightning is central here, together with the subject she is painting. In a dark environment, the light determines what you see. If the light still has a 'color', purple, blue, red, this gives a particularly colorful whole. Add to that her classic painting style and you really have a special story of your own. We cannot, of course, leave the subjects unmentioned here. Porcelain figurines, which may be described as 'kitsch', are given a new life in Ritmeester's paintings. The colorful lights with which she focuses on the figurines give the whole a completely new and interesting dimension. Astrid Ritmeester herself about this: ,,I give the figurines I know from my youth a new life by blowing them up as 3D objects in textile. When painting, I want to make the figurines look as real as possible, but then, just like with the costumes I make for theater, I place them in the light in such a way that it becomes particularly colorful and cheerful to look at." We ship our paintings worldwide for free in custom made wooden crates. An example of the crate you can see on the last picture. If you need some additional information, feel free to ask.

Anacrusis to Silence- 21st Century Contemporary Still-life Painting of a Whistle
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
Since August 2018 Sietse W. Jonker belongs to the group of artists that we permanently represent in our stock-exposition. In mid-2019, this still-life artist will take part in a group exhibition devoted to still life in painting. His work can be seen all year round and for sale through our gallery. To get to know us, we visited the artist in his studio in Leeuwarden. a centrally located donkey and a window on the Noorderlicht dominate the space together with the still life that he is currently working on. According to the artist, a still life should not be 'made to look', in the final painting it should ultimately be an ordered harmony. The artist himself: That is not always easy and sometimes I am busy with all kinds of objects here in the house. Every now and then something comes up or something is taken away again until I am satisfied. Usually I have a vague idea of ​​what I want, but to give that 'vague idea' a concrete form is quite difficult. The idea then to create a three-dimensional world on a two dimensional level intrigues Sietse Jonker...
