Portrait 86, serie 30. Painting

Ine van der Horn, a sculpture artist from Utrecht, has been working in various disciplines since she graduated from art school. She is not restricted by material or form of expression. She is currently working on sculptures and paintings. What never changes is her interest in people, human emotions and body positions. The sculptures made of paper and leather, possibly combined with other materials, show more realistic human forms. The paintings, acrylic paint on paper, show abstracted faces expressing a particular emotion. These were put on paper directly from her feelings, while the sculptures took more time and reflection. The work grabs you immediately. At first you see the faces, the figures, the pose, the layers with which the work is built up. The longer you look, the more the feeling of the faces and figures is reflected. This is the power of her work. In the artworks, everyone sees what they themselves want to see or feel, as if it were a mirror. It is different for everyone, just as every person is different. Ine studied at the Art Academy in Enschede (AKI) and has her studio in Utrecht. See for more: www.inevanderhorn.nl
