Description from the seller
"Asparagus" in a part of the series: Plastic Vegetables. The size is 30x40 and has a small white border. The print is on Ilford Galerie Prestige, and the edition is number 3 of 20.
Plastic Vegetables is a photo series by Ursula van de Bunte that photographs packaged vegetables as 17th-century still lifes. By combining the atmosphere of old masters with cellophane, a sharp contrast is created: what appears beautiful also tells an uncomfortable story. The series exposes how commonplace plastic packaging has become—and invites viewers to look again at what we normally no longer see. The anachronism is at the core: many people no longer see plastic as strange, but as 'normal'.
Ursula's studio is located in a monumental building on the IJssel in the Hanseatic city of Kampen. She exhibits her work in museums, galleries, and at international art fairs.
Seller's Story
Passionate, sensitive and an eye for detail, light and colour, would be a nice description for Ursula's working method. She is a perfectionist, enthusiastic and diligent, she will only be satisfied when the well-known WOW factor has been achieved.
With her artworks she tries to bring her subjects forward in the purest way. Ursula transforms objects into powerful still lifes and the portraits are a reflection of a bygone time, in which every now and then a sprinkle of modern life is incorporated.
Her work is unconventional and the use of light tends towards her sources of inspiration; the paintings of Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt and Caravaggio.
As a photographer, Ursula also tries to distinguish herself through diversity in her work and, in addition to individual creations, she also makes series, in which she lets multiple images tell one story. She was discovered, among other things, with her intriguing, tranquil still lifes: the series Plastic Vegetables’ and the series ‘House-4-Sale’. These works have been awarded various prizes, including for the series “de 100 van Rooyackers.”
