AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The striking "iMOGEN" painting is a large-scale portrait that invites viewers to contemplate the beauty of aging and the captivating allure of human imperfections. Created with a masterful blend of acrylic, spray paint, charcoal, and ink on canvas, this piece showcases a nuanced exploration of a woman's face. The artist's keen eye for detail captures subtle lines and textures, transforming what might be seen as flaws into elements of profound character and depth.
This artwork is a testament to the artist's passion for portraiture and the stories etched onto every face. The deliberate use of color, including hints of pink and gold, alongside the bold strokes of charcoal and ink, creates a dynamic and engaging visual experience. "iMOGEN" doesn't just depict a woman; it celebrates the journey of life and the unique beauty that comes with it, particularly focusing on the expressive power of the eye.
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)
