Robert van Bolderick
I am falling into dreams, Mixed Media on Paper

2019

About the Item

Robert creates paintings notable for their texture, and sculptural presence with layers of impasto paint. His richness of palette and his use of strong colors that he put on linen canvas, creates a compelling work of mixed media art by which the viewer feels endlessly absorbed. Part of a series of paintings I play with elusive notions of memories and dreams, placing remnants of personal notes, poems and photos amongst writing and recognisable images from recent and past events. This plethora of imagery takes on new meaning and symbolism when combined on one canvas. I use mixed technique to my practice to breathe life and vibrancy into collaged surfaces with acrylic, oil, ink, charcoal and tempera. These fragmented images and texts emerge hazily from the paintings, giving you flashes of meaning but not divulging too much. My paintings are eclectic and symbolic and is about finding a balance in this patterned and rhythmic combination of collage and paint. The colours in the paintings are inspired by nature and the light shifts in the sky. My work is an interpretation of the differences between history and memory. How we are changing the memories every time we go back to them, and how we recognize images and remember events, and how other people’s memories are different from your own. Memory refers to the way in which individuals and societies choose to remember or forget certain moments and events in their history. With the use of collage and paint I’m interested in creating a compelling work of abstract art with recognisable elements that engages the viewer, is endlessly absorbing and promotes a meaningful dialogue, putting the viewer in an atmosphere of dreaming and remembering. Where the images be decorative, but also give an interest to move closer to see more details. I want the viewers to recognize personal memories in my paintings. :: Mixed Media :: Contemporary :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: front an back :: Paper :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: Yes :: Framed size 31.0"h x 23.0"w x 1.0"d

  • Large Animal Wall Sculpture: 'Wormhole'
    By Gin Stone
    Located in New York, NY
    'I am a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on ecofeminism using fiber and mixed media constructions. My materials include hand-dyed commercially fished line and ghost gear, recycled and antique textiles, fabric printed with cyanotype emulsions and found objects. I change the existing surface of recognizable animals by creating a veneer of unexpected color and imagery. This forces the viewer to consider the shape more carefully by visually exploring its new topography. The creation process can be likened to painting with fiber (that has been tinted with hand-mixed dyes) on a three-dimensional canvas. Intense work is spent creating the eyes and ears to convey the emotion of each animal. I look to the work of Joan Mitchell and The Quilters of Gee’s Bend as inspiration for pattern and color, as well as charts, iconography, and satellite imaging.' -Gin Stone...

    By Theda Sandiford
    Located in New York, NY
    'My Emotional Baggage Carts are vessels to dispose of racial trauma. The act of making, weaves the sting of macro and microaggressions into the cart, freeing me from these constraints. Each recovered shopping cart is unique, but they all are woven with upcycled materials like rope, paracord, grocery bags, rope lights, beads, fabric, and bottle caps. The cart is with a protective zip tie blanket to trap trauma and prevent its escape. For me, my Emotional Baggage Carts are a release, for you, they are an opportunity to look within and recognize any emotional baggage you, yourself may be carrying and release it.' Theda Sandiford...
