Kunstexpositie van Monique Sliedrecht

Deze kunstexpositie van de bijzonder getalenteerde kunstenares en rijzende ster, Monique Sliedrecht, is een aanrader. Aangezien ze aan de ruige Noord - Schotse kust woont en werkt, in het prachtige Freswick Castle, speelt de zee een grote rol in haar schilderijen.

Having lived and worked in the far north of Scotland at Freswick Castle, the sea has played a large part in Monique Sliedrecht’s painting.
Ebbtide is the period between high tide and low tide during which water flows away from the shore and vanishes into the restless sea. It’s all about endless change and the unseen world beyond the margins of sea and sky, a sense of something much greater than ourselves, fearful and yet thrilling.
A boat travels into the thin space between the elements, where depths of water rise up to meet the heights of sky, where liquid or solid meets air or vapour - and both can be terrible forces.
For me boats are an endless source of fascination, a metaphor for the fragility of our human journey with all the tensions and need for inner safety and control contained within a thin membrane that separates us from outside chaos and what we experience as an elemental mystery. Boats are safe havens, but they are also tiny vessels taking us into the unknown.
