AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mijn naam is Francien Krieg. Al meer dan twintig jaar werk ik als kunstschilder aan een oeuvre dat draait om het lichaam – in al zijn schoonheid, kracht, ongemak en vergankelijkheid. Mijn werken zijn kwetsbaar én rauw, gevoelig maar zonder opsmuk.
Alle series – van zelfportretten en ouder wordende lichamen tot jonge mannelijke boksers, vrouwen bij zonsondergang en intieme scènes met poezen – zijn te vinden op mijn website, waar je ook meer leest over mijn achtergrond en drijfveren:
www.francienkrieg.com
Ik werk uitsluitend met hoogwaardige materialen: professioneel geprepareerd linnen of gladde panelen, en olieverf van topkwaliteit, rijk aan pigment. Elk werk is met aandacht en toewijding gemaakt – bedoeld om lang mee te gaan, niet alleen qua materiaal, maar ook in betekenis.
Mijn werk is een ode aan wat langzaam verdwijnt: lichaam, stilte, aandacht.
Seller's Story
Francien Krieg (b. 1973) is a distinguished Dutch artist renowned for her compelling explorations of the human form, particularly focusing on themes of aging and vulnerability. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, she initially engaged in conceptual installations, utilizing materials like meat and rubber to create thought-provoking pieces that delve into human fragility.
Transitioning to painting at The Free Academy in The Hague, Francien developed a distinctive style characterized by unconventional perspectives and a raw portrayal of the human body. Her works challenge societal norms, celebrating the beauty found in imperfection and the passage of time.
Her art has been featured in prestigious exhibitions worldwide, including the Scope Basel art fair, Realisme Amsterdam, and esteemed galleries such as Robert Lange Studios in Charleston and the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago. Notably, she participated in the Women Painting Women [r]evolution exhibition at Townsend Atelier in Tennessee and the Strak Realisme show at Gallery Beinart, alongside artists Effie Pryer and Ville Lopponen.
Francien's accolades include multiple nominations for the Dutch Portrait Award and being shortlisted for the Figurativas at MEAM in Barcelona in 2017, 2019, and 2020. Her work has been extensively featured in publications like Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Realisme Today, The Guide Artists, Boldbrush, and Poets and Artists. In 2018, she published a comprehensive book detailing her artistic journey and exploration of the human condition.
Her paintings are highly sought after by collectors, with pieces held in significant Dutch collections, including the ING Collection and the former Scheringa Collection. Her collaboration with Gallery Mokum in Amsterdam has further solidified her status in the art market, positioning her among the leading figures in contemporary realism.
Francien Krieg continues to captivate audiences with her unflinching portrayal of humanity, inviting viewers to confront and appreciate the profound beauty inherent in imperfection and aging.
