Dinie Kuilman - S-shape

Oil painting by the famous artist Dinieks.
Name: S-shape
Dimensions 60x60x5cm
Sold by the heirs after her death.
This oil painting is completely abstract and has no deeper meaning. The S-shape is somewhat recognizable. This shape has also been used more often in earlier work in the form of draperies such as tea towels. It is mainly about the play of color and contrast. What is special is that the sides play a part in the whole. The painting is 5 cm thick and deliberately set up without a frame.
Additional information about Dinieks (1935-2024):
Dinie Kuilman-Schipper, stage name Dinieks, was a versatile painter/graphic artist.
She used various techniques: oil paint, silkscreen, gouache, watercolor and collage.
Her earlier work often contains recognizable and figurative themes. Her later work, on the other hand, is more abstract.
Her style has gradually evolved into semi-abstract or even fully abstract.
Her screen prints are very graphic and often geometric.
Themes are: still life, landscapes, cityscapes, human figures, or graphic representations.
She draws inspiration from the play of shapes, the use of color and the tension between them.
Her use of color is often subdued and nuanced, but always clear.
She often works in series: the first work leads to the next, etc.
It is also clear in her later abstract work that she always thinks and designs from the same basic form.
In 2015 a large autographic book of her work was published: 'Dinieks, autography in word and image'.
This book is also on her website: dinieks.com. A video interview can also be viewed there.
