Artist Statement for Mieke Van Ingen
|
|
|
Born 1962, the Netherlands
the artist lives and works in the South of France
Mieke van Ingen (born 1962, Delft, the Netherlands) studied painting and graphic art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, the Netherlands. She lives and works in the South of France, near Avignon, as a painter and a printmaker with a special interest in the cross over between the two disciplines.
Using motifs extracted from plants, water and clouds, Van Ingen incorporates these forms in her drawings, paintings and graphics with a painterly fluidity.
There is a division of horizontal and vertical lines; the same division which was highly emphasized by the members of The Style movement (De Stijl). For the members of this movement the belief in this division, originates in western theosophy; the vertical lines are the active element and the horizontal lines the passive elements; as both are the visual equivalents for the basic facts of life.
Van Ingen creates the contrast Piet Mondriaan, the movement's leading figure, called for; fields of color created by horizontal and vertical volumes on the one hand and a clear poetic painting on the other hand. The use of water and earth colors, as much as the sensation that the works engage in construction and destruction -and create something new out of the void- all these are associated with obvious existorial issues.
It seem's that Van Ingen's work brings together both ends, modern and tradition, abstract and figurative, graphical and painterly. They form a continious effort to transcend knowledge and the techniques to the one's hand to the traces of man's search for truth and beauty on the other.
