AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Between Light and Shadow" is from the House-4-Sale series. It is a high-quality print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag. The photograph measures 26x40 and is the first edition of twenty-five copies. Here is the remarkable story behind the photograph, in brief:
An empty house fires the imagination.
Photographer Ursula van de Bunte was looking for a new home to live in, and during her search she found La Sablonierekade 3 in Kampen on Funda.
She was struck by the authenticity of the house; time had stood still there.
The various rooms she visited seemed like perfect locations for photographs.
The house’s first owners, the Berk family (of BK Pannen), furnished it in 1890 with Art Deco elements that have been preserved to this day. Through the real estate agent, Ursula contacted the current owner and got the key. She didn’t want to buy the house, but she very much wanted to photograph there.
What might have happened here? Ursula photographed various people in the house, of all ages, to see what effect the house had on them. She also created beautiful still lifes—not just of people, but of objects and things that might once have been lying there. After several Open House days and hundreds of visitors, the house still hadn’t sold. When the photographer was still looking for a house herself, she approached the owners and was able to buy it on the promise that the front room would remain as it was. It is now the photographer’s studio.
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.”
