Description from the seller
Edith Sont (1939) lives and works in Amsterdam; she is a classically trained artist. During her studies at the Rietveld Academie, drawing was the foundation and painting the goal. “When I start a painting, I have an idea. To know whether it’s a good idea, I must paint it. As I paint, an idea for a new painting often arises. And again, the only thing I can do is paint.” And so the subject shifts, however attractive it is. It seems that the painting creates itself. While working on the painting that arises, the painting she is working on comes into being. Her fondness for fantasy architecture and landscape gardens led her to trees and forests. Constants in her work are light and space. “My beloved subject is spatial—you must be able to walk through it. A painter is always searching for light, but in dark forests it becomes 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, therefore, the start, which she then shapes to her hand, but in fact the drawing still creates itself… what remains is a space that can exist, in which you can walk around until the end. “For the best part of the forest is where it ends.”
