AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Romy van Rijckevorsel is a contemporary Dutch artist who has been living and working in Vlijmen since 2002. She was born in 1967 in Drunen and initially worked for many years as a portrait painter before enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arendonk, where she obtained her degree in Painting in 2017. In 2017, van Rijckevorsel started creating her own independent artworks, focusing on paintings. Her work is included in collections both in the Netherlands and abroad. Romy exhibits regularly.
"I paint portraits because man is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me. It is mainly a challenge for me to give a portrait its content. So the viewer feels something special when seeing the work.
At the moment, I mainly make portraits of older people. It fits well with my way of working in charcoal. Again in this I look for the beauty of that imperfection. And I’m figuring out how far I can go into it.
I always look for new ways of working. And that new way can be in the use of other materials or the approach of the subject, which can be figurative but also much more abstract.
Ready to hang: no, the painting will be rolled and needs to be stretched again by your local framer. Shipping extra-large formats rolled is safer and more environmentally friendly than shipping finished works. The canvas can easily be stretched on-site by a framer near you. A certificate of authenticity is included"
Seller's Story
The work of Romy van Rijckevorsel is daring, colorful, very inviting for personal interpretations and not without obligation!.
Romy van Rijckevorsel paints in an eclectic way. In her work you see many references to classical artists. (eg Gustav Klimt, decorative backgrounds, but also Egon Schiele). It is also eclectic because of the different styles: drawing, graffiti, painting and
graphic elements. All these elements are very successfully combined into an organic whole in which there is also a unique handwriting lurking. That is very smart, because the combination of references and styles can also go wrong very quickly. In Romy's work, however, she stops at exactly that
right moment. The paintings are very postmodern in the sense of "everything is possible" and yet it is not restless at all. On the one hand the works are very decorative and on the other hand also hard and almost provocative and vulgar. Yet they are balanced, partly due to
the strong composition. (jury report Painting of the year 2020, eventually finished 9th out of 1250 applications)
