AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This striking portrait, "bERNARD," captures the profound beauty found in life's journey. Expertly rendered with a blend of oil, acrylic, and charcoal on canvas, the artwork showcases a masterful exploration of texture and form. The artist deliberately seeks out the character etched by time, finding a unique elegance in every line and shadow, pushing the boundaries of traditional portraiture.
The artist’s fascination with the human spirit and the stories held within each individual is palpable. This piece invites contemplation, allowing viewers to connect with the subject on a deeply emotional level, discovering a shared humanity.
Measuring a large 105cm wide by 140cm high, "bERNARD" is designed to be a captivating focal point in any room. Its substantial presence makes it ideal for a living area, study, or even a grand hallway, where it can command attention and spark conversation. Imagine this compelling portrait adding depth and character to your home.
Ready to hang: no, the painting will be rolled and needs to be stretched again by your local framer. Shipping extra-large formats rolled is safer and more environmentally friendly than shipping finished works.
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)
