Astrid Ritmeester
A ride to Memory Lane- 21st Century Stilllife Painting of Figurines

2021

About the Item

This painting by Astrid Ritmeester belongs to a series she has called 'Memories' Ritmeester also works as a costume and graphic designer for theatre productions. Astrid Ritmeester makes paintings and textile objects. The paintings are very special in subject and approach. Theatrical lightning is central here, together with the subject she is painting. In a dark environment, the light determines what you see. If the light still has a 'color', purple, blue, red, this gives a particularly colorful whole. Add to that her classic painting style and you really have a special story of your own. We cannot, of course, leave the subjects unmentioned here. Porcelain figurines, which may be described as 'kitsch', are given a new life in Ritmeester's paintings. The colorful lights with which she focuses on the figurines give the whole a completely new and interesting dimension. Astrid Ritmeester herself about this: ,,I give the figurines I know from my youth a new life by blowing them up as 3D objects in textile. When painting, I want to make the figurines look as real as possible, but then, just like with the costumes I make for theater, I place them in the light in such a way that it becomes particularly colorful and cheerful to look at." We ship our paintings worldwide for free in custom made wooden crates. An example of the crate you can see on the last picture. If you need some additional information, feel free to ask.
