Description from the seller
"Real or not Real" is a floral still life created in the studio of photographer Ursula van de Bunte. The arrangement consists of real flowers and silk flowers. The viewer will hardly notice the difference. It is a print on Fine Art HD Metal matte. The size of the photo is 75x55 cm and this is the third edition of twelve copies.
In Van de Bunte's still lifes, everyday objects take on a new role. They are detached from utility and use and appear as pure forms: still, present, almost fragile. Through the soft light, the austere composition, and the attention to skin, scale, glass, and ceramic, a quiet world emerges in which time slows down. The photographer works with the newest Hasselblad equipment and creates her photography from a studio housed in a monumental building in Kampen, the Hanseatic city. Her work is presented in museums, galleries, and at art fairs.
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.”
