About the Item
This sculpture 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. This sculptures are made life size after an example of very small figurines of porcelain.
Out of 'Kitsch' Ritmeester makes Contemporary art. In this series she shows you how she grew up between figurines as a child. Her parents were in love with them. After they passed away she couldn't do anything else then keep the figurines in a box on a shelf. After a period she started to look for the figurines and decided to paint them. She fell in love with them. That made her decide to not only paint them, but also make some parts of the figurines life size.
So the porcelain figurines, which may be described as 'kitsch', are given a new life in Ritmeester's paintings and sculptures. The cloths she makes them from really look lie porcelain, people who walk by and do not dare to touch them often keep thinking it is porcelain.
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 sculptures and painting 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.
