Now on view in the Art Rental: Ilse Brul – Lichtvloed
About this activity.
Ilse Brul creates semi-abstract artworks full of color, movement, transparency, and light. Her work is based on experiences during walks in nature, on the Wadden coast and in the Alps. Kunstpunt Groningen presents her solo exhibition Lichtvloed, featuring paintings from different periods. From April 16 to May 23, her work will be on view, available for loan, and for sale through the Kunstpunt Art Rental.
During her visits to natural areas on the edge of land, sea, and air, Ilse aims to observe as openly as possible: “I use all my senses: I see, smell, feel, hear, experience – the rippling of water or the sound of waves, I translate into images,” she explains. She later develops these impressions in her studio. There, she works with various materials such as oil paint, watercolor, and egg tempera. Sometimes she adds natural elements like silt or pigment. Color and movement play an important role in her paintings. With loose, dynamic compositions and rich use of color, she brings energy onto the surface. The images are often abstract or partly recognizable, like a landscape slowly dissolving into fields of color and light.
Ilse’s Selection
Alongside her own work, Ilse presents a personal selection from the Art Rental collection: Ilse’s Selection. This selection offers insight into her sources of inspiration and artistic preferences. All works on display are available for loan or purchase.
