About this activity.

From October 20 onwards, the solo exhibition "Beyond Time, Tracing Tracks to Tomorrow" featuring paintings by Elise Klinkert is on display at the Art Rental of Kunstpunt. In her art, Elise explores a profound connection with the overwhelming nature and its loss due to human actions. People and animals act as time travelers, attempting to evoke a romantic longing for a better world, a life in connection and harmony with each other and the universe. Each painting is the result of a fascinating interplay of commitment and conversations, source research, memories, and fragments of dreams.

Want to linger over the paintings longer? Good news! You can borrow and/or buy them at Kunstpunt.

The Atelier Collection: Solo Exhibition "Beyond Time, Tracing Tracks to Tomorrow" includes works from previous series such as 'Beyond Time,' 'Hybrids,' and 'Dream Landscapes.' But you'll also see her most recent work, 'The White House,' marking a turning point in Elise's oeuvre: "It no longer needs to be explained, interpreted, or understood. It can exist exactly as it presents itself," Elise says. The connection, however, persists through Elise's serial approach.

Elise's Choice

Also, explore "Elise's Choice" in the exhibition, where Elise showcases her favorite works from the Kunstpunt collection. "I chose these works purely on instinct," Elise says about her selection. "When I see them together like this, I find my love for the landscape in them. It also has a lot to do with painting, how I perceive it. In some works, it may be my personal projection, but I sense a deeper, spiritual meaning."

About Elise Klinkert

Elise Klinkert (1967) creates magically realistic scenes with a refined sense of composition and use of color. In many of her works, humans and animals take center stage, in connection with each other, the landscape, nature, and the elements.

Atelier Collection: Solo

This exhibition is part of the Atelier Collection: Solo series, where Kunstpunt presents work from northern artists directly from their studios.

"Beyond Time, Tracing Tracks to Tomorrow" is on display at Kunstpunt until December 2.
