In the 'Vitrine van Vertoon' of the Haagse Kunstkring, small works of art from 40 different enthusiastic participants will be for sale from 15 January. The works of art have a maximum size of 30 x 30 cm and a maximum sales price of €500. The work can be taken home immediately upon purchase! So you don't have to wait until the end of the exhibition period to pick up the purchased work. In short: a great gift idea! Come and have a look if you're in the area ♥
In the Display Cabinet I show my mini flower still life 'Memphis Whispers'. The name of the Memphis Group can be found in the name of my work. This group
- described with a wink as "a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price" - was founded in the eighties of the last century by the Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. This movement introduced a style that was inspired by various art movements, including Constructivism from the Interbellum and Pop Art from the sixties. The Memphis Group style is characterized by striking colors and geometric shapes. In this small flower still life (30 x 30 cm) 'Memphis Whispers' I play with the use of color and formal language that refer to the Memphis style.
The flower still life is part of my Project Preserved, consisting of recreations of flower still lifes from different style periods in art. Flowers, vases and props in these works come from the thrift store.
Period: January 15 to April 6, 2024
