22 and 23 June – National Open Studio Weekend, Rineke participates
On 22 and 23 June, the eleventh edition of the National Open Studio Weekend will take place in which hundreds of studios throughout the Netherlands will participate. Rineke’s studio will be open for visits.
New: Downtown
The glass artwork Downtown depicts the waterfront of a heavily built-up island in the river of a large city. It consists of six towers, each of which consists of two equal elements. Three clear glass support elements can also be seen on the foundation, which ensure cohesion in the work and allow light to pass through between the towers.
New: Ode to Ole
At the end of the 70s, the Danish artist Ole Korzau made beautiful silk screen prints with ‘Danske motiver’. With ‘Ode to Ole’, Rineke pays tribute to Ole Korzau, but in her own style, with strips of glass.
Art markets Oirschot and Susteren
Rineke’s work can be seen on 26 May from 12:00 to 17:00 at the art and culture market Petit Montmartre in Oirschot. On June 2 from 10:00 to 17:00 you can see her work at the international art market of Swentibold in Susteren.
New: Flamenco
Fiery and swaying, that is the Spanish dance Flamenco. Rineke made a new glass object in the series of dances, followig previous dances like Tango, Paso doble and Rain dance. The flamenco dancer’s rustling skirts are deep red and solid in color on the inside. The exterior captures the temperament of the dance. Olé!!
New: Castle
Castle combines clear and moss-green glass to take the shape of a medieval castle. Light plays on the surface, creating subtle patterns and reflections. This piece captures the essence of a castle, blending the traditional form with modern design.
New: Rhythm and blues
“Rhythm and blues” is an intriguing glass artwork that captures the essence of this style of music in visual form. It combines elegance with dynamics and breathes a sense of movement. The rhythm of Rineke’s characteristic glass strips topped with the blues of the round elements evokes emotion and creativity. A perfect addition to any space that needs vibrancy.
New: Polder
The vast rectangular fields of arable farming in the Flevopolder were the inspiration for creating this work, Polder. Repeating blocks, intersected with interruptions, but in glass. Fantastic for those who love patterns.
Visit to showroom Carolin Zibulka
In the weekend Rineke visited the new showroom of Carolin Zibulka in Kleve, just across the border near Nijmegen. Carolin creates beautiful 3D glass panels with a technique she calls Lavacoating. In her showroom you can admire and possibly purchase a piece of her collection of artwork. On Saturdays and Sundays you can visit her by appointment.
Rineke and Carolin organized the duo exhibition together last year during Reflections in Glass in the Kerkje in Persingen and can be seen together again this year. But before then, a visit to Carolin’s showroom is well worth it!
New: Remembrance
The Airgunners from the Second World War, were present at the commemoration of the dead in Rineke’s former hometown of Dronten. Their relatives each place a ‘poppy’ to commemorate their loved ones. War always only leaves loss. Lest we forget.
