Ida Roekevisch (1957)
At an art market in the 'Achterhoek' we chance upon some paintings
of Ida Roekevisch. These paintings have a striking beauty and uniqueness
about them, brought about by their colours and atmosphere. The paintings
had a power one could not ignore. You feel a deeper meaning to the
paintings but can't quite ascertain what it is. Since that market in 2001
we have established a close friendship with Ida, whom lives in the small
town of Haarlo.
Her paintings are imaginative and colourful, almost always oil on panel
and very cheerful. However beneath the cheer of Ida's landscapes, houses
and people she always includes her concerns about the many injustices
and growing disrespect within society. These matters concern her the most
and alongside the great Austrian architect, artist and philosopher
Hundertwasser, give her a lot of inspiration. While walking through the
countryside every day nature itself inspires Ida Roekevisch in many ways.
To clarify her paintings she always adds a small text. The work shown is a
part of a 2009 series of paintings inspired by Tibet. The text is a part of
the art. It reads: In this high desolate, but nonetheless stunning wonderland
with its snow encrusted trees and plastered houses as white as the snow, far
away from the western stress, the serene silence is only pierced by the
howling wind. Visitors are greeted to a warm respectful welcome.
