Description from the seller
"Blindfolded Devotion" is a part of the series: Het Hondenkabinet. Het Hondenkabinet originated from a daily observation: in the park where the photographer lives, dogs are walked day in and day out. Ursula became fascinated by the people behind the leashes and invited dog owners and their pets to her studio. For some, a dog is a child, a full family member—almost human. Precisely as they are photographed: with dignity, character and a touch of theatrical grandeur.
The series drew attention, among others, in LINDA Magazine. Ursula's studio is housed in a monumental building along the IJssel in the Hanseatic city of Kampen. She exhibits her work in museums, galleries and at international art fairs.
Blindfolded Devotion is a print on Canson Fibre Rag, the size is 65x46 and it is mounted on 2mm PVC. It concerns the third edition of 12 copies.
Seller's Story
Passionate, sensitive and with an eye for detail, light and color, would be a nice description of Ursula's approach. She is perfectionistic, enthusiastic and diligent; she will only be satisfied when the well-known WOW factor has been achieved.
With her artworks she aims to bring her subjects forward in the purest possible way. Ursula transforms objects into powerful still lifes and the portraits are a reflection of a bygone era, where from time to time a splash of modern life is incorporated.
Her work is unconventional and the use of light leans toward her sources of inspiration: the paintings of Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt and Caravaggio.
As a photographer Ursula also seeks to distinguish herself through diversity in her work, and beside individual creations she makes series, where multiple images tell one story. She is notably discovered with her intriguing, still lifes: the series Plastic Vegetables and the series House-4-Sale. These works have been awarded with various prizes, among them for the series “de 100 van Rooyackers.”
