Ilse van den Berk uses this year a 2011 weekly calendar with
photographs from Heinrich Hauser as source of inspiration to further
develop her paintings. She has a weekly challenge to translate the photo
into a painting. The objective is to get more insight into her personal
process of making a painting and better understanding of the essence of
her art.
By the amount of snow, the landscape in Finland is extremely white. This
also ensures an even stronger reduction of the forms in nature. The
artist notices that her work is minimized even more. There is also the
white of the landscape slowly entered into her work. Forms from the
original image goes into an environment with different shades of white.
It is precisely this variety of white shades are minimization determines
the Finnish origin of the work.
