On 11 and 12 November 2023, the National Atelier Weekend will be held. During this weekend, (professional) artists open their studios to interested parties. Rineke also opens the studio in her home. On Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November you can walk in between 11:00 and 16:00 to view and possibly buy her work. We look forward to welcoming you!

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.

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…

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.

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?

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!
