Gerdien van Delft Rebel is a Dutch visual artist based in Veenendaal, The Netherlands.
Drawing intuitively I wrap myself up in an experiment: a dance between chance and control. Giving way to the desire to create. Making the unseen visible. Joyful, hopeful, comforting, healing. Receiving and giving.
Statement
Themes such as: Desire for security, comfort and wholeness, giving and receiving space, are very important to me and form a starting point from which to work. Emotion is an essential component in my art, the desire for softness, kindness and touch is expressed in the handwriting, skin and form. I strive to think as little as possible about what I am doing, but to work intuitively. For this it is necessary to act quickly and sometimes to throw up obstructions such as not looking while drawing or looking up coincidences, for example dropping paint or making monoprints and impressions in wet paint.
