Rineke’s glass sculptures are mainly made with glass fusion. Individual glass elements are melted together in the oven. The glass is then attached to each other and shines beautifully. Having your own oven has been a wish for some time. This weekend was the day. Rineke was wedged between the oven and the door in the back of the packed car for the return trip. Super happy with the possibilities that this brings.

On 1 February, the Volksgalerie DVA will open at Brouwerijplein 39 in Enschede. A beautiful new gallery that wants to offer a platform for even less well-known artists. Rineke was invited as one of the artists in the opening exhibition. In the month of February, a selection of Rineke’s work will be on display and for sale at the Volksgalerie.

My beautiful bronze statue Diver is in the shop window at HANS living next to the Town Hall in Elst! It colors really beautifully with the wallpaper and curtains that Hans can supply. Very nice that my work is now beautifully visible in the middle of the village for a while.

On this website Rineke’s work is nicely put together. If new work has been made you can find it here. Or follow me on Facebook, like more than 100 others. Then my new work will automatically appear in your timeline. Recommended!

The cover competition of the Facebook group the Art Collective last week was about: “Made of metal”. Rineke submitted the bronze statuette Leisure and won a spot on the cover!

It was a hustle and bustle at the Art Fair Elst 2022. The viewers were surprised that the drawings, the glass and the bronze were made by one and the same artist. Rineke often had to explain how she combined that. Many people walked on with a happy face after the visit and a few bought a work to take home. Wonderful weekend!
