New: Rain dance
The inspiration for Rain dance came (surprise…) from the soaking wet months of January and February of this year. Rineke wanted to make something beautiful out of all that rain. Fortunately, the Rain dance has helped, to finally stop the rain. Spring!
New: Evergreen
The John Denver song Poems Prayers and Promisses has been in Rineke’s mind ever since her youth. The song was also playing when she came up with the idea for this artwork. The glass elements each consist of three parts. Not symetrical but miraculous anyway. Forever beautiful. This is Evergreen.
RINEKE.ART in webshop Dutch Luxury Design
Rineke’s art is now available through Dutch Luxury Design for enthusiasts who have difficulty coming to see her work in person. The platform offers online exhibits, sales, and shipping, with enjoyable personal service.
New: Caterpillars
Rineke’s glass artwork “Caterpillars” reflects the curling movements of tiny crawling caterpillars in her flower garden, captured in blue, yellow, and clear glass. The work is framed for a nice spot on the wall.
New: Scarlet
The bright red glass artwork Scarlet with white accents, reflects the feeling of Valentine’s Day. Passionate red symbolizes love, white adds tenderness. A powerful, romantic work of art.
Vibrant exhibition Rotterdam Art Week
What a wonderful energy there was at the Art Market from 2 to 4 February 2024 during the Rotterdam Art Week. Organiser Unity in Diversity lived up to its name with a particularly varied range of work by very diverse artists. Rineke really enjoyed showing her work there and talking to the equally diverse visitors. It was like a party!
Online exhibition Barbagelata and Art Collective
Two nice mentions of Rineke’s work one week! With ‘Spectrum’ in the online Colors exhibition of the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation and with ‘Embrace’ on the cover of the Art Collective!
New: Abundance
It doesn’t matter where you are, what the weather is like or what season it is. The two-sided object Abundance sparkles in the light and automatically transports you to a fresh flower bed in spring.
New: Embrace
Glass is a hard material. But when you fuse strips of glass with sharp edges together in the oven, it becomes round and soft to the touch. It feels like a warm embrace through a soft blanket of glass, a sweet hug.
New: Facet
Rineke enjoys using different colours to create shapes in the glass. You can see that nicely in this work Facet. Where the blue and green strips of glass touch each other, the shape of a facet emerges. A sparkling play with the use of colour.
