What Images of blown glass with steel stone and Polymer
Artist Angela Teunissen and Gerda Maas
Where Gallery Chris-Art, Noordeinde 160, The Hague
When June 5 – August 28, 2016
The exhibition is right in the international centre of The Hague. The subject is special because of its original combination of blown glass and a variety of other materials like stone, steel, nails, small bullets and pearls.
Sculptress Angela Teunissen (Netherlands/Spain) sculpts with her blown glass and composes the glass art and other materials with precision and perfection to unique and unexpected sculptures of different sizes and figures.
Interaction
Special is the theme of the experience ‘Jewel of Our Interior’. The sculptures convey an original meaning about the beautiful, but often hidden, characteristics of human beings. Angela got these characteristics from people who she asked to send her a quality which they are proud of.
Angela transformed those in art as counterweight against negativism. Negativism that rules our live in a world of unrest with obligates high standards and a competitive spirit.
The sculptures are dedicated to the splendour and spirit that we all possesses: The core from which the world can grow.
Our characteristics are worth to be seen!
The work of Angela Teunissen can be seen as an artsy social awareness that inspires the visitor and viewer and invites to reflect.
Universe
Gerda Maas (Netherlands) is inspired by her journeys; recently to Japan. Impressions swirl through her head and hands to be reflected in pieces of art of polymer. She models polymer covering with a skin of 23-karat gold leaf. Mesmerized by the universe with its nebulae and black holes Gerda uses materials like yarn, needles and wire to create gorgeous wall objects.
The combination of the work of Angela and Gerda makes the exhibition topical, special and worth to visit and to enjoy.
