About the Item
Rutger Hiemstra
Attempted Art
Oil on wood panel
53 x 125 cm
Dutch artist Rutger Hiemstra (1975) understands the art of painting from observation. Still lifes, landscapes, portraits and combinations of objects, all painted and/or drawn 'from life'.
Realism
Although Hiemstra makes his work while looking at his subject, the paintings are 'loose, open
everywhere picturesque'. The brushstrokes, colors and also the panel remain part of the whole. Nowhere in his work does it become 'clean' or 'a fight', everywhere the work is transparent and loose in character. Hiemstra also likes to play with the 'flat surface' and makes his still lifes in such a way that they appear 3-dimensional from a distance. Another work becomes a trompe-l'oeil in which the viewer has to resist the urge to feel 'if it is real'.
Antidepressants in paint
Following the participation in a group exhibition at Bonnard in 2018, a nice review appeared in the NRC, which also meant that Hiemstra's work became nationally known. The writer of the piece, art critic Gijsbert van der Wal, ended the piece with:
“A crankier critic might find it all too appetizing, too marketable, not too abrasive. You wish such a person a little of Hiemstra's unspoilt enthusiasm for the things around us. Their still lifes are antidepressants in paint: if you look closely, they say, life is worth living.”
In 2021, the artist was seen at work in his studio on Dutch TV. For the 'Klokhuis' program he painted a small still life of a 'banana in a lunchbox'. Relaxed, cheerful and colorful Rutger Hiemstra tells the interviewer, while he builds the composition and finally paints the still life on a panel, about what he is doing. He is exceptionally skilled and virtuoso at work here. The result is just as cheerful, colorful and relaxing to look at. It is special how this character of the artist is, also his working method and the character of the final painting.
