Is the sharing of your work in progress in your studio: sharing the making off, or declaring your studio and tools as a decor?? ..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my favorite poems: Wislawa Szymborska (1923 – 2012) Moment I walk on the slope of a hill gone green. Grass, little flowers in the grass, as in a children's illustration. The misty sky's already turning blue. A view of other hills unfolds in silence. As if there'd never been any Cambrians, Silurians, rocks snarling at crags, upturned abysses, no nights in flames and days in clouds of darkness. As if plains hadn't pushed their way here in malignant fevers, icy shivers. As if seas had seethed only elsewhere, shredding the shores of the horizons. It's nine-thirty local time. Everything's in its place and in polite agreement. In the valley a little brook cast as a little brook. A path in the role of a path from always to ever. Woods disguised as woods alive without end, and above them birds in flight play birds in flight. This moment reigns as far as the eye can reach. One of those earthly moments invited to linger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Translated from the Polish by Joanna Trzeciak)

@aimeeterburg Untitled, 2018 Acrylic, varnish on polyester canvas 2x (152 x 107 x 4 cm) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ..... The zigzag pattern is an ancient multi graphic element to use; neutral, dynamic, decorative, hardedge, associative (chevron, traffic sign) and above all an excellent pattern to prolong in a setting of multiple paintings. This way these paintings act autonomous and as objects in site specific set-ups. The dripping of the layers on the side reads as the history of making in contrast with the varnish pattern. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ..... #rizoom #aimeeterburg #geometric #poeticgeometric #zigzag #pattern #triangle #variable #variation #bigpaintings #installation #paintingasanobject

There is more contrast with the varnished pattern. The changes in visibility of the pattern by light and every different view angle can ‘catch’ the viewer.

@aimeeterburg Untitled, 2018 Acrylic, varnish on polyester canvas 2x (152 x 107 x 4 cm) ..... An installation of 2 paintings (studioview). They are @graycontemporary in Houston now. It’s a series that I started in 2015, then only in black. Since 2017 I glazed the black layer with a choice of yellow, pink or blue tints in acrylic. ..... Glazing is a fine traditional technique to create colors that I didn’t paint. The green is created by the thin layering of yellow layers on black which shines through. A final thin pink layer makes the color change during the day when the light changes. The underlayer of black makes the colors absorb more light while the varnish reflects it depending on the light and viewing angle. The paintings can appear as colorfield or geometric and every step@in between. ..... The glazing in multiple layers on this size is ‘hazardous’ which I prefer. The gradient is easily applied as a digital painting tool but in real underlying layers are so thin, even in acrylics they can dissolve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Wanting to keep the structure of the canvas there is a max to the amount of layers but to build the stauration of the color I need many layers. In the limited drying time of acrylics it is a zen race against time. ⠀⠀ ..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rizoom #aimeeterburg #glazing #absorbinglight #colorfield #geometric #poeticgeometric #shiftingsurface #gradient #analogfluidity #viewingangle #involvingviewer #bigpaintings #installation #paintingasanobject
Aimée Terburg (1971) is a visual artist (and curator) from Dutch / Surinamese origin, born and raised in the North of the Netherlands. She creates her essence of space and perception by unifying set up contrasts on canvas, paper or walls. The opposites of maker, material, viewer and moment, merge in an encounter of formal elements and flat, spatial dimensions she wants to share with the viewer. Terburg neutralizes the artist's hand through her labor-intensive processes to research the most subtle yet monumental transformation of that encounter. --- Recent keywords are light and color related to object and surface. Poetic geometric, a shifting in surface and color appears, paintings become objects or is it the other way round. Maybe she will tell us more about that. Based in Groningen her work is represented by Gray Contemporary in Houston (USA), and she is in cooperation with Murals Inc. in Rotterdam. If you want to see more check out @aimeeterburg or www.aterburg.nl Why this color? It is a greyish tone that also can appear as a tint or shade, it depends on the light and the color next to it. I am absolutely fascinated by the fact that a color is defined by that. The shifting appearances of tones and tints in color are amazing. #rizoom #takeover #63 #dutchartist

URBAN SOLITUDE (series) | Red Light District - Diptych • 2018 Acrylics on canvas. 30 x 24 cm / 30 x 40 cm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ This portrait painting is part of a diptych (slide picture). Out of pure curiosity I’ve passed by the Red Light District or ‘de Wallen’ a few times. It’s kinda bizarre how many people you see there. So many tourists, curious people like me and of course people who are actually going to visit a prostitute or some erotic show. So after watching my eyes out and getting used to seeing half naked women luring men in, I started to realize that this must be such hard work in many different ways. While I saw girls smiling and flirting with passengers I also saw girls wander off.. it made me wonder what was going on in their heads. The paintings are based on this experience. - @chantal_linssen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ #rizoom #urbansolitude #acrylicpainting #redlightdistrict #neon #light #nightscene #streetscene #stare #girl #portrait #portraitpainting #figurativeart #modernart #canvas #art #kunst #instaart #schilderij #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #figurative #acrylics #dewallen #passengers #dyptich #artistsoninstagram

URBAN SOLITUDE (series) • 2019 Acrylics on paper. 41,9 x 29,6 cm ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For my paintings I use references pictures. My archive consists out of pictures from the internet, my own pictures, or pictures taken by acquaintances. Most of the time I photoshop these pictures, I rearrange them, crop them, change the colors etc. That way they become my own. Finally, the act of painting puts a new dimension to the image. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ For this painting I asked a stranger if I could take his picture. I prefer to take pictures of people who are unaware of me photographing them. Capturing the moment. Unfortunately this isn’t always a possibility. In that case I give directions to the model, I try to get them in a state of mind close to what I experience and see in the city. Almost like a small meditation session 🙏🏻 - @chantal_linssen ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ #rizoom #urbansolitude #contemporaryart #painting #acrylicpainting #portraitpainting #street #nightscene #lights #urban #art #instaart #kunst #schilderij #artistsoninstagram #contemporarypainting #figurativeart #figurativepainting #stadsleven #licht #utrecht #oudegracht #windows #stores #neon
