These four faded tulips are part of a long-term art project. The chosen composition is a fixed factor in this project. In March 2018 I placed the four tulips on a screen printing frame. In order to fix the chosen composition I temporarily placed stones on it. These stones come from Wales, found 35 years ago. Stacked together they form a small tower. With my camera on a tripod I made a series of photos right above the composition. I chose one of them. The photo has been cropped so that the metal edge of the screen printing frame is no longer visible. In photoshop I then further edited the image. I put the screen printing frame with the tulips that had blossomed away for a long time. In the summer of 2018 it was time for the next experiment: pouring this composition (without stones) on the silkscreen frame filled with casting resin. I completed the work of art in March 2019. I have included the whole story in the form of a 'recipe' in this newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e72b97a547eb/een-recept-voor-giethars-tulpen-kunstwerk.
Since about 1974, I have been involved almost daily in photography, drawing (charcoal, graphite, conté, chalk, ink), painting, watercolour and/or collage making. In all these branches of visual work, I have tried a lot, found my own way, but also often had lessons from various professionals. In everything I make, I pay particular attention to form and colour, composition, shadow and light. Sometimes this makes the image very minimalistic, other times it is enormously rich. They are almost always small settings that tell a story. My approach in my work is: back to basics, the place of peace and quiet from which things grow and appear in daylight. I have been exhibiting occasionally since 1990. Would you like to know more about me? Then click on one of the green buttons below.
