Her work often contains enigmatic texts that occur to the artist in the silence of a calm night, or during the repetitive process of working on her woodcuts. She sometimes uses these texts as stand-alone typographic images, but also incorporates some of the words alongside geometric shapes into layered, horizontal compositions. The latter are in turn reminiscent of the structure in dance and musical notation for a choreography or partiture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Robine Clignett focuses on the effect of colour. For her, colours are independent entities; personalities with a particular character that can evoke their own series of associations. They unite the unfathomably deep, like the night or the universe, with the small and near, like the part of our eye capable of perceiving colour. She titles her pieces with vocables such as midnight, dawn,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0dusk<\/em>\u00a0to establish a link between specific colours and certain times of the day and night, thus concretising them. Yet she sees colour in her work not so much as tool for literal representation, but rather as the expression of something absolute to which the viewer has to surrender. portrait Elsbeth Ciesluk<\/a> \u00a0portrait Robine Clignett <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The exhibition is organized with the kind support of Stroom Den Haag[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”] Robine Clignett\u00a0(1948) and\u00a0Elsbeth Ciesluk (1986) catch fleeting, casual thoughts and impressions that are put into a definite form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[141,167],"class_list":["post-19516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibition-2021","tag-elsbeth-ciesluk-en","tag-robine-clignett-en","category-888","description-off"],"yoast_head":"\n

In the back room of the gallery, Ciesluk presents an installation of wood prints on vertical textile bands, inspired by a Persian miniature of a bathing house in which strips of fabric are hung to dry. Additionally, the exhibition shows two video portraits of the artists by Jelle Posthuma, in which also Elsbeth Ciesluk’s career as an athlete is touched upon.<\/p>\n<\/a>\t<\/figure>\n<\/article>\n\n\n
