AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An abstract portrait that grabs attention directly with its explosion of color and texture. Thick layers of paint lie as relief on the canvas, with visible blobs and cracks that give the work a raw, almost tangible intensity. The shapes of the face are only partly recognizable and seem to blur into a chaotic play of lines and tones. Bright colors clash and mingle, creating a sense of emotion and movement. The cracks in the paint reinforce the idea of impermanence and inner tension, as if the portrait not only shows a face but also a story of fragility and strength.
Ready to hang: no, the painting is carefully rolled and wrapped and must be restretched by your local framer. Sending (extra-large formats) paintings rolled is safer and more environmentally friendly than shipping ready-to-hang works. The canvas can easily be stretched by a framer at your location. An authenticity certificate 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)
