Hanneke van Ryswyk, born Wales 1983, and raised in the
Netherlands, graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University
in 2006 and since then has been selected for group
exhibitions in Dublin, London, Paris, Melbourne and
Boston. Van Ryswyk moved to Bunclody in January 2011.
New exhibition:
'Archipelagos' a collection of paintings and unique prints
on show at the gallery from May 10 to May 31 2012.
Van Ryswyk builds her paintings in numerous layers through
washes and glazes of colour. In these imagined Archipelagos,
her process of building and eroding layers of paint, mirrors
the formation of the earth's crust. In many of the painted
works including 'Desert
Island', layer upon layer are fused through sanding;
revealing the illusion of a textured relief. From her
deepest cobalts, lands erupt in patterns of yellows, greens,
and burnt oranges, then disappear into vast oceans of
turquoise.
About the
artsist's print work
Van Ryswyk
works on an intimate scale and chooses to create works
that are unique, one-off prints. Her monotypes and monoprints combine open spaces with a multitude of surfaces
involving intricate patterns, delicate lines, and broad
sweeps of vibrant colour. Each plate is worked on at length
to produce an image, often built in layers using several
printmaking techniques and finally printed. In the case of
drypoints, Hanneke creates editions limited to a maximum of
5 per plate. When using the lino etch method she gently
etches lino to manipulate and mould the surface using tools
one would normally use for sculpting clay in order to create
a diversity of textures within the image.
