De Kers The Cherry Photograph on Dibond Framed Still Life in Plastic Series
Richard Kuiper (the Netherlands, 1967)
To 17th century merchants, the nouveaux riches of the Dutch Golden Age, collecting luxury items and utensils to show off their wealth and lifestyle was a competition. They revelled in exotic animals and shells from the East Indies, priceless glassware from Venice, porcelain from China, silver and gold from Antwerp.
To immortalise their high standard of living they commissioned famous Dutch still life painters, including Pieter Claesz, Floris van Dijck, Frans Snyders, Adriaen Coorte and Balthasar van der Ast.
These gifted painters captured the items, products and everyday utensils, most of which were made of natural materials, in lifelike detail. They illustrated the prosperity of the 17th century, preserving the various items for posterity.
Today, prosperity produces non-perishable items that will remain on this earth in some shape or form forever ? usually plastic. Plastic is the environmental problem of the future, and it threatens both humans and animals alike.
Nowadays absolutely everything is fashioned from plastic because it is a durable, convenient and highly useful material. As if that was not bad enough, we are witnessing the rise of plastic for purely decorative purposes. You name it and you can find it in plastic? indistinguishable from the real thing.
This inspired photographer Richard Kuiper to produce still life portraits of plastic à la the Old Masters of the 17th century. At first glance they resemble the beautiful still lifes created by Pieter Claesz or Adriaen Coorte, but when you get closer you discover that the tablecloth is a plastic bin liner. That an elegant goblet is an athlete?s plastic water bottle. Upon scrutiny a fish is inflatable, complete with valve.
Richard Kuiper sees the dichotomy in his work: on the one hand, he admires the material, the invention of the everlasting. On the other, however, his compositions serve as a warning, and he hopes to use his photos to show how we have gone overboard with our use of plasti

- Savannah Monitor Python Medinilla X-Ray Photography Lambda Print on Dibond ColorLocated in Utrecht, NLSavannah Monitor Python Medinilla X-Ray Photography Lambda Print on Dibond Color - Perspex Front UV Resistant The photography of Arie van ’t Riet is a merger of his scientific background, being an engineer and physicist, and his passion and love for flora and fauna. His focus is on the essence of nature. This process takes a sense of beauty, but also technical knowledge and insight. The animals (found dead) he uses, are placed in an optimal position together with plants and other crops. This setup, called a Biorama, is placed for a X-ray and by radiation fixated on film. For this work van ’t Riet received a special permit. Because he is specialised in working with this equipment he is able to make a picture in just one take. This is complicated because, for example, a thin leaf needs another approach than a fat...Category
