Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This surreal painting features a striking, organic form that dominates the composition. The central shape is rendered in warm, earthy tones of orange and brown, contrasting with the cool blue sky visible through the curvature. The overall brushwork is bold and expressive, evoking a sense of dynamism and movement. While the subject matter is ambiguous, the artist seems to be exploring themes of nature, form, and the interplay between positive and negative space. The work's enigmatic quality invites the viewer to contemplate its deeper symbolic or conceptual meaning, reflecting the artist's unique creative vision. ...

Rezi van Lankveld
Artist
Rezi van Lankveld
B.1973, Dutch

Rezi van Lankveld has gained recognition for her small-scale paintings. Her process-based work allows the paint to flow freely across the canvas to generate unexpected imagery. The artist will latch onto suggestive elements, such as lines or shapes which emerge from this mercurial process, and harness their potential to develop the construction of the overall painting— transforming what is perceived into what is created. Marked by an "all or nothing" approach that blends abstraction and figuration, chance and intention, van Lankveld begins by loosely pouring or applying paint onto boards or canvas and then manipulating the paint through pushing and stroking until recognizable figures and landscapes emerge from the brushstrokes. Her impressionistic paintings are characterized by a subdued colour palette of blues and greys, which brings to mind the aesthetics of Old Master paintings while also revealing influences from Surrealist automatic drawing and Jackson Pollock's action paintings. ...
