"Vase of Peonies" Contemporary Installation of Ceramic Plates and Oil on Canvas

About the Item

Vase of Peonies consists of 9 round plates combined with a still life of a vase with branches of pink and white peonies ans red gladioli. The painting is an early work by Dutch artist Karel Wiggers (1916-1989). Wiggers was educated at the Royal Academy in The Hague where his teachers included Sierk Schröder (1903-2002). Later he studied at the academy in Munich, where Constantin Gerhardinger (1888-1970) was one of his teachers. Despite living abroad, Wiggers lived and worked most of his life in his hometown. He was a member of the Sint Lucas artists' society in Amsterdam between 1944 and 1969 and of the Haagse Kunstkring and the Pulchri Studio painting society in The Hague between 1969 and 1977. Each "Altered Perspectives" composition is the result of finding the perfect selection of plates (based on their subject) and have them dialogue with a painting. We create the layout that can at best highlight the details in the painting and reference the decoration on each plate. Only once we are satisfied with the composition we start the process of creating the artwork. Each plate has a professional hook at the back, and each plate is numbered at the back. Artwork is signed and dated at the back. A diagram showing the placing of each plate on the wall is included in the box.

Each plate might present small imperfections due to its age and use, and the canvas might present holes and missing paint. Wear consistent with age and use.

We welcome and embrace these imperfections as they contribute to the look of the artwork with their testimony.
