About the Item

A contemporary abstract geometric colour field landscape in oil on canvas by Dutch artist Bernadette Van Baarsen. Signed bottom left and signed and titled to the reverse. Highly colourful and full of energy, this joyful painting is one of an exciting new series called 'Intermezzi' by Dutch artist Bernadette van Baarsen. An artist who is not afraid to explore new styles and techniques has now taken us fearlessly towards the abstract geometric. Bernadette uses strong vibrant fields of colour, beautifully balanced to bring together wonderful landscapes. The colours bring the energy whilst the strong shapes ground the composition. A jewel of a painting. This artwork presents a vibrant and abstract interpretation of a townscape, masterfully blending geometric forms and bold colors. The use of vivid greens, purples, and pinks creates a dynamic contrast, breathing life into the scene. Angular shapes represent buildings, outlined in striking black contours that add definition and depth. The horizon reveals a backdrop of jagged mountains, painted in warm shades of orange and red, suggesting a dramatic sunset. Above, a clear blue sky provides a serene counterbalance to the bustling energy below. This composition captivates with its playful abstraction and harmonious color palette, inviting the viewer to explore an imaginative reimagining of urban landscapes. Bernadette ('Berna', as she autographs her works) VAN BAARSEN was born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After finishing her high-school she followed training to be a nurse and architect, whilst at the same time being a lead singer in two Dutch punk bands and making sculptures in plexiglass. Later in life she decided to pursue an academic career and obtained a PhD in psychology and medical ethics. She worked as associate professor at the Free University of Amsterdam and was member of several high-level medical-ethical committees. In 2015 she settled in France. Being essentially autodidact, she took up painting, in particular after being inspired by the Provençal landscape and friendships with fellow artists. In recent years she has shown her work at successful exhibitions in Provence and elsewhere.
