Project Murmurs & Babbles 'Womens' Drawing

©)Riedstra Artist statement As an artist I am triggered by the phenomenon ‘Power’ How does this phenomenon occur and what are its foreseen and unforeseen consequences? Implicating social and economical changes, were mostly the people are target, in being manipulated and misguided by social media and the internet, were data are the important tool. In my projects I respond to these consequences. Doing a lot of research, par example the artists and their role in history, I draw lines from there to the contemporary art. An important source of inspiration for me. My images I find in newspapers, on the internet, magazines and in my own works. By transforming and enlarging these materials, searching for an unexpected and unusual context, with the suggestion underlying the surface, I find that I reach the audience. By constantly reaching and renewing within myself I try to continue that line. 2015 - 2016 Project Murmurs & Babbles In this new Project I want to get into the subject of modern or contemporary art, what are the elements that make art contemporary art? And what does this mean? A recurring designation in the History of Art, and what is its value? Van Gogh was known as modern or in our terms contemporary because he broke with traditions, but today any artist anywhere brakes or tries to, with traditions. Has modern or contemporary become a meaning in itself? Reference to this subject: Rem Koolhaas on modernism. A follow up on my investigation into Renaissance art and contemporary artists who reflect(ed) on them. View all the works at http://www.riedstra.eu http://everydayadrawing.wordpress.com
