tekijä Romy van Rijckevorsel · Vlijmen, NL

Romy van Rijckevorsel paints in an eclectic manner. In her work, you see many references to classical artists. (for example, Gustav Klimt, decorative backgrounds, but also Egon Schiele). It is also eclectic due to the different styles: drawing, graffiti, painting, and graphic elements. All these elements are very successfully combined into an organic whole where a personal handwriting also lurks. That is very clever, because the combination of references and styles can also go wrong very quickly. In Romy’s work, however, she stops at exactly the right moment. The paintings are very postmodern in the sense of "anything is possible" and yet it is not restless at all.
