Biography Philipine Vinke (Ermelo, The Netherlands, 1968):
Core themes in Vinke’s “Bubble Gilding” works centre around specific social constructs she calls ‘bubbles’. Powerful examples are national flags, the monetary system and paradoxes in (lack of) transparency in public and private lives.
We all live inside our own bubble. Omnipresent as bubbles are, we hardly notice them. If we do, we prefer not to pop. We love our bubbles and to enhance their importance, we “gild” them.
Vinke is Bubble Gilding. She translates here themes by using techniques that express the formation of bubbles through fluidity and viscosity, enhanced by the richness of minerals and relevant recycled materials. The early techniques were developed through 2014-2015. Every work contains 24 carat gold leaf, vast amounts of pure pigments, bubbles (secret ingredients) as well as faux gold leaf and epoxy. Her latest works are made with recycled mirrors and industrial waste from the aluminium melting factory in her home town. To complete the ‘used-and-obsolete-theme’, the mounting system is made from recycled industrial waste of the curtains and blinds factory, also situated in her home town.
Vinke is captured by the paradox of fluidity versus viscosity...
