Thecla Renders, kleurrijke bloemstillevens

Thecla Renders

Thecla Renders (1956) studied at the art academy in Rotterdam and art history in Leiden. She has worked as an independent artist since 1984 and exhibits in the Netherlands and abroad.

Her still lifes and figure studies are simple and restrained in form but expressively worked out, sometimes with patterns in the foreground and the background, and sometimes with the frame as part of the work. Form is in the service of colour and of expression: the bright, intense use of colour is contemplative and confronting at once.

At ARTACASA this is seen above all in flowers, in mixed media on paper and wood: zinnias, mimosa, irises, pear blossom, daffodils. Among them stand torsos and portraits, and titles that point to music and memory — Tempo Rubato, Herfstsonate, Lost in time, Remember me.

On her own website she opens with eight lines from Mei by Herman Gorter, about the light that stays late in the sky.

Thecla Renders (1956) studeerde aan de kunstacademie in Rotterdam en kunstgeschiedenis in Leiden. Sinds 1984 werkt ze als zelfstandig kunstenaar en exposeert ze in binnen- en buitenland.

Haar stillevens en figuurstudies zijn eenvoudig en sober van vorm, maar expressief uitgewerkt, soms met patronen op de voor- en achtergrond, en soms met de lijst als onderdeel van het werk. De vorm staat er in dienst van de kleur en van de expressie: het felle, intense kleurgebruik is beschouwend en confronterend tegelijk.

Bij ARTACASA is dat vooral te zien in bloemen, in gemengde techniek op papier en hout: zinnia’s, mimosa, irissen, perenbloesem, narcissen. Daartussen staan torso’s en portretten, en titels die naar muziek en herinnering verwijzen — Tempo Rubato, Herfstsonate, Lost in time, Remember me.

Op haar eigen website opent ze met acht regels uit Mei van Herman Gorter, over het licht dat laat aan de lucht blijft staan.
