AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Edith Sont (1939) lives and works in Amsterdam; she is a classically trained artist. During her studies at the Rietveld Academy, drawing was the basis and painting the goal. “When I start a painting, I have an idea. To know whether it is a good idea, I must paint it. While painting, an idea for a new painting often arises. And again, the only thing I can do is paint.”
And so the subject shifts, as attractive as it is. It seems the painting creates itself. While working on the painting that emerges, the painting to which she is working comes into being. Her penchant for fantasy-architecture and landscape gardens led her to trees and the forest. Constants in it are light and space. “My beloved subject is spatial; you must be able to walk through it. A painter is always in search of light, but in dark woods it is a pictorial necessity. The play of light and dark, of foreground and background, gives my drawings and paintings a third dimension.” The existing nature is thus the starting point, which she then shapes to her hand, but in fact the drawing still invents itself… what remains is a space that can exist, in which you can walk around until the end. “For the most beautiful part of the forest is where it ends.”
