About the Item

"Land Erosion" by Bianca Severijns is a masterpiece of movement and texture. She paints, hand tears, and glues pieces of paper, creating waves of abstraction. With the theme of climate change on her mind, Severjins gathered broken stones from the eroded cliffs on the Poleg/Netanya beach after a devastating storm in 2018 and wove them into her paper artwork. This vibrant red artwork abstracts the aftermath of lost pieces of land floating in a bleeding sea. The intensity of the red color changes based on how Severijns orients the paper pieces and how densely they are placed next to each other. Severijns' self-developed manipulating paper techniques are based on layering, merging, and weaving hundreds of small, hand-torn paper pieces into sculptural tapestries, murals, reliefs, and three-dimensional objects. The repetitive act of tearing paper creates a rugged, rough finish on each piece, emulating life itself with all its beauty and harshness, representing life’s imperfections. Dutch artist Bianca Severijns (b.1964) creates her multifaceted, striking artworks by continuously exploring the paper medium. Rooted in a multicultural background, her art explores themes of displacement, identity, and migration that stem from personal narratives, as well as nature’s cycles. With the hope of starting anew, Severijns' art invites reflection on our shared world.
