Dorothea Van De Winkel
Concept of the work : 'In The Open Field I' 2014 and 'Tornado In The Field II' 2016 I was inspired by the current world problems, conflicts, contrarieties, realizing there is always a place for a new beginning. Different perspectives represented by colors, united into an art creation. In that spirit I created 'In The Open Field I' and 'Tornado In The Field II' An open mind for the positive, take the opportunity for a new start. Statement about this tapestry ‘Blue Landscape I-II’, 2018 Evening Landscape, I Made The design by night Falls, I saw changing The colours in grey and blue it became very dark, but suddenly The sun brought sunbeams and The design came a live, I bring that on my tapestries.
Comparable to The current world problems there is hope The sunbeams will bring The solution. The designs of Dorothea Van De Winkel are abstract. She realises wall and floor tapestries, which can be wholly integrated in a house (colours, form and size). The realisations can be seen as living, standing-on-their-own art objects, or as the centre point, elementary piece or material for interior design. Furthermore, tapestry can be used in modern buildings for muting sound transmission and it adds a feeling of warmth. Dorothea is an independent textile artist – designer since1985. She manages her own gallery “Galerij Theaxus” from September 1992 with exhibition rooms and the possibility to visit the studio, where the hand woven tapestries are designed and made.
