Description from the seller
"The Uprising" a beautiful print on high-quality Canson Fibre Rag. The size is 61x51 and it is mounted on 2 mm PVC. It is the first edition of 12 copies and is part of a series about the life of Joan Derk van der Capellen-tot den Pol. Because the print comes from a list, there are minor signs of wear at the edges, which disappear when the photo is framed. It is also possible to crop the photo to 50x60 cm.
Photographer Ursula van de Bunte created for the exhibition Joan Derk: Controversial I Theatrical I Explosive a photo series about the moving life of Joan Derk. She combined her love of historical portraits with modern elements, giving Joan Derk and his contemporaries a contemporary face. "The Uprising" tells the story of the uprising of the Patriots.
“Capellen must be great, the Drosten services must die.” This is what the Patriots and peasants cried because they were oppressed by the Drosten, who governed a certain area.
Joan Derk collected complaints as evidence and submitted a petition to abolish this 'Overijssel slavery'. He wanted a peaceful uprising.
Ursula pursues quality and works with the latest Hasselblad. The studio is housed in a monumental building in the Hanseatic city of Kampen. She exhibits her work in museums, galleries and on 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.”
