About the Item
Different worlds are melted together in the remarkable etches of Dutch artist Gea Karhof. Ancient cultures go hand in hand with 20th century icons. It is possible to see Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse or Superman swimming among oriental figures. On the many journeys to Greece, Nepal and Egypt, Gea gets inspired for her work by the oriental impressions. The hand-colored etchings are like dreams, in which differences in time and place disappear, while that seems perfectly logical.
Gea Karhof combines her own childhood memories and travel experiences with general history, so that Gea’s etchings at first sight appear to be historical documents. Each time, all elements come together under a larger theme that forms the basis for her work. ‘’Subjects present themselves; I am never consciously looking for the’’ says Karhof.
In ''Touched by History'' there is so much to discover. Elements from films, comics and visual arts, western and non-western gods, goddesses and icons inhabit a world in which dream and reality stage a 'pas-de-deux'. In addition to the technical highlights, the natural combination of these elements is striking.
Her oeuvre mainly consists of hand-colored etchings, sometimes with relief printing or with gold leaf.
Karhof (1945) was educated at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Her work has been purchased by the Dutch government, several ministries, towns and museums, but also in multiple national and international private collections.
Past and present come together in the enchanting world of Gea Karhof.
''Touched by History'' is hand-colored, has white gold leaf and has an edition of 40.
