Tine Poelsma - Collage, Z.T - Sold

Tine Poelsma The style of Tine Poelsma (1936-2016) is recognizable, but certainly not unequivocal. Powerful shapes and a clear use of color give a great expressiveness to her work. Since the era of DADA, at the beginning of the last century, the artist can turn anything into art. This certainly applies to the rubbish found on the beach; many a sculptor has used the washed up and weathered pieces of wood as a source of inspiration. For Tine Poelsma, the waste on the beach after a big storm is a fascinating spectacle. She is particularly interested in the play of shapes that has arisen on the shining sand, as if a master hand had laid this composition there. She has developed her own way of painting for this subject, but actually wants it to be a bit more expressive in the line of the painter Chaim Soutine. Poelsma is not primarily concerned with the objects themselves, but with the composition that the objects make on the background of the sand. Besides variations on these natural “ready made's” she creates her worlds as a painter, draftsman, etcher or whatever craft is needed.
