Description from the seller
Edith Sont (born 1939) lives and works in Amsterdam; she is a classically trained artist. During her studies at the Rietveld Academy, drawing was the foundation and painting the goal. “When I start a painting, I have an idea. To know if it is a good idea, I have to 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, no matter how attractive. It seems as if the painting creates itself. While working on the painting that emerges, the painting to which she is working comes into being. Her fondness for fantasy architecture and landscape gardens led her to trees and forests. Constant in that are light and space. “My beloved subject is spatial; you must be able to walk through it. A painter is always looking for the light, but in dark forests 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 designs itself… what remains is a space that can exist, in which you can walk around to the very end. “For the most beautiful part of the forest is where it ends.”
