Gineke Zikken, landschappen in olieverf

Zikken

Gineke Zikken paints bright landscapes with clear lines in a sober, Dutch manner. She often finds her harmony and beauty in unexpected places. Figurative, clear and forceful, she sets her world before us. Fields, trees, meadows, boats, bridges, containers, beaches — simplified by Zikken into paintings that are sometimes almost abstract.

People themselves are almost always absent. We see their traces, the straight lines in the land. In the stacks of containers the human influence is overwhelming, while at sea we must make do with a post or a windbreak waiting on the beach.

She shapes the landscape on the canvas to her own hand through her choice of subject, her point of view and her way of working. With a palette knife she makes taut compositions in soft colours, always in search of calm and balance, averse to drama or striving for effect.

Gineke Zikken schildert heldere landschappen met klare lijnen op een nuchtere, Nederlandse manier. Haar harmonie en schoonheid vindt ze vaak op onverwachte plekken. Figuratief, helder en met kracht schotelt ze ons haar wereld voor. Akkers, bomen, velden, boten, bruggen, containers, stranden, door Zikken vereenvoudigd tot soms bijna abstracte schilderijen.

De mens zelf is bijna altijd afwezig. We zien zijn sporen, de rechte lijnen in het land. Bij de stapels containers is de invloed van de mens overdonderend en bij de zeeën moeten we het met een paaltje of een wachtende strandscherm doen.

Het landschap zet ze op het doek naar haar hand door de keuze van het onderwerp, haar standpuntbepaling en haar manier van werken. Met een palletmes maakt ze strakke composities in zachte kleuren, altijd op zoek naar rust en evenwicht, wars van dramatiek of effectbejag.
