Interest in bronze at Kunstbeurs Zutphen
In addition to her colourful glass objects, Rineke also brought some bronze sculptures to the Zutphen 2023 Art Fair. Diver, Ballum and Hollum and Leisure received admiring comments. The beautiful glass objects were also in the spotlight with many ooohhhh’s and ahhh’s. Rineke wishes the new owners of her work lots of joy.
New: Geysir
This blue-green glass artwork in turquoise base is called Geysir and is the third in the Eruptions series. Geysir the Icelanders call it, the spouting spring that gave our hot water appliances its name. Rineke went to look there, but stood a little too close to it. The wind earned her a wet suit that only stayed warm for a moment…
New: Lava
The fiery colors of swirling lava splash off this work. You can almost imagine the smell of the air as when you would come close. Lava is so hot that rock has melted and solidifies again a little later. This is also how this wonderful artwork is made, but of glass.
New: Pythagoras
A² + B² = C² is the Pythagorean theorem, to calculate the length of the three sides of a right triangle. The challenge with this glass object by Rineke is to calculate the length of the two oblique sides. , when you only know that the height of the work is 27 cm, and the width of the foot is 17 cm. Moreover, you can see that the two sides are not equally slanted. You’ll manage, wont you?
New: Eruption
Mesmerizing work, it looks like an eruption! Or maybe a moss plant that germinates or a nest of cobras? The light shines fantastically through this work, the first of a series of Eruptions of glass that Rineke makes. The glass is smooth and rounded by the temperature at which it is processed. Really so beautiful!
Glasmarkt Lommel: A busy and fun hustle!
What a a huge crowd having fun at the glass market in Lommel last Sunday, September 17, 2023. Rineke’s work was also on display and for sale. It stood out, the editor of the Internetgazet Lommel came by for the above post, an interview and a photo of her work Honey very nice!
Successful exhibition Rhapsody 2023
It was fun and also busy at the exhibition of the art group Rhapsody on August 27, 2023 in Elst. The eight participants showed work made with glass fusion but also sculpture and ceramics. There was even a real sculpture gallery in one corridor. We wish new owners a lot of fun with their new artworks! Thanks to all visitors and of course also to the participants of the exhibition for a wonderful art day!
New: Bon bini beach
These waves of Bon Bini Beach capture the soul of Caribbean paradise in brilliant glass. It evokes the longing for the azure water, the breaking waves, the soft sand and the warm rays of the sun. A world where every day feels like a warm greeting.
