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 foundation and painting the goal. “When I start a painting, I have an idea. To know whether 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, however attractive it may be. It seems the painting creates itself. While working on the painting that emerges, the painting she is working on comes into being. Her penchant for fantasy architecture and landscape gardens thus led to trees and forests. Constants in this are light and space. “My beloved subject is spatial; you must be able to walk through it. A painter is always seeking 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 therefore the starting point, 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 most beautiful thing about the forest is where it ends.”
