Riedstra
Disciplines: Fotograaf, Schilder, Tekenaar
Omschrijving werk
Riedstra: contemporary artist > painting projects > drawings > drawingbooks on 'art in dayly life'. Point of departure: Estrangement in a large context, related to the world of today. Riedstra steadily builds a valuable collection of paintings based on contemporary issues. In this painting process the chosen subject is transformed by personal interpretation to a unique image. She uses the abstract form in combination with a realistic form, this creates a necessary tension. The combination of colours that she uses are uncommon and fascinating. Ludwig Trossaert (gallerist)
