Liesbeth Rahder - Beautiful - very small edition - Relief screen print "book and image" - prof. incorporated

• Liesbeth Rahder studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. The artist paints intuitively. She starts with structured areas of colour over the entire surface and then adds small icons that can be very detailed. The artist also often makes small inscriptions that are scratched into the wet paint with a palette knife or the back of a brush. The figuration she uses is her signature and the coherence or conflicts draw the viewer into the painting. The viewer is forced to come up with their own story.

Although the figuration is narrative and recognizable, she always seems to follow the inevitable impulse of the brush or palette knife. In doing so, she brings out the characteristics of the material she is working with. Liesbeth Rahder has produced a beautiful collection of graphics and her original pieces are mostly made in oil paint.
