Marianne Benk\u00f6<\/b> (1952, Hongarije) - verweeft haar innerlijke wereld met de beelden die ze om zich heen ziet. Van een afstand zie je het totaalbeeld: constructies van kleur die bossen, bomen en landschappen suggereren. Van dichtbij resoneert het werk met oneindige details. Er ontvouwt zich een wereld vol textuur en diepte, opgebouwd uit een myriade van fijne draden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Textiel is Benk\u00f6's passie: het is een materiaal dat doordrenkt is van tijd en liefde, aards en verbonden met het menselijk leven. Weven is een krachtig symbool. Weven en web zijn termen die gebruikt worden om het leven zelf te beschrijven. Ze staan voor samenhang en verbinding. Het weefsel van de samenleving. Menselijke levens als verweven draden in het weefsel van het leven. Het proces van weven heeft parallellen met het leven zelf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Met haar wandtapijten maakt Benk\u00f6 deel uit van een zeer oude traditie van geweven wandtapijten, de oervorm van textielkunst. Deze kostbare handgemaakte wandtapijten werden vanaf de elfde eeuw gebruikt om middeleeuwse kastelen in Noord-Europa te versieren en te isoleren. Ze werden geweven in beroemde ateliers in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden en Frankrijk. De groene landschappen van de Verdures waar Benk\u00f6 naar verwijst, ontstonden in Vlaamse ateliers vanaf de zestiende eeuw en bleven eeuwenlang populair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benk\u00f6 is opgeleid aan de Hongaarse kunstacademie in zowel schilderen als monumentale handgeweven wandtapijten. Voor haar bestaan wandtapijten in relatie tot schilderkunst; het een kan niet zonder het ander. Schilderen was haar basis, maar textiel bood haar meer mogelijkheden om zich uit te drukken. Textiel stelde haar in staat om in de grootste formaten te werken. De zachtheid en tactiliteit ontroerden haar; textiel transformeerde haar omgeving. Uiteindelijk koos ze ervoor om zich te specialiseren in handgeweven wandtapijten en cre\u00eberde ze veel werken voor de openbare ruimte, waarvan ze de meeste zelf weefde.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benk\u00f6 is een kunstenaar die zich niet beperkt tot \u00e9\u00e9n medium. Ze keerde terug naar haar basis en begon weer schilderijen te maken. Daarin past ze persoonlijke onderwerpen toe: haar omgeving, de natuur, de stad en verre reizen. Het is alsof ze haar emoties rechtstreeks op het doek schildert. Levende gevoelens, uitgedrukt in kleur en textuur. Uiteindelijk zijn de schilderijen niet minder tactiel dan haar vroegere wandkleden. Meerdere lagen verf met toegevoegde textiele details geven het werk diepte en textuur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haar nieuwe werken in de serie Verdures zijn gebaseerd op deze schilderijen. Een paar jaar geleden kreeg Benk\u00f6 weer zin om met textiel te werken. De kunstwereld leek vrijer en er was een hernieuwde belangstelling voor textielkunst. Nieuwe technische ontwikkelingen hadden de mogelijkheden voor dit materiaal drastisch vergroot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benk\u00f6 ziet gemechaniseerd jacquardweven als een nieuwe manier om zichzelf uit te drukken. Waar een handgeweven wandtapijt haar een heel jaar kostte om te voltooien, wordt een mechanisch geweven wandtapijt binnen een paar uur gemaakt met behulp van een digitaal aangedreven jacquardweefgetouw. Het voorwerk is het meest tijdrovende deel van het proces geworden. In deze fase wordt het originele ontwerp vertaald naar een geschikte digitale versie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marianne Benk\u00f6 bezocht de Academie voor Toegepaste Kunst in Boedapest waar ze een graad behaalde in schilderen en wandtapijten en haar masterdiploma in kunst, gespecialiseerd in het ontwerpen van kunst voor openbare ruimten. Marianne woont en werkt nu in Nederland en re Benk\u00f6 schilderijen bevatten vaak de encaustic (was) schildertechniek. Kunsthistoricus Frans Jeursen schrijft over de kunstwerken van Marianne Benko: \"<\/span>Onze emoties slepen ons mee langs een schilderij van Benko en de ervaring is alsof we een uitgestrekte zee bevaren zonder gedetailleerde kaarten of navigatie-instrumenten. Er is geen ster aanwezig om ons de richting te wijzen en ervaringen uit het verleden bieden ons slechts gedeeltelijk een gids voor de toekomst\".<\/span><\/i> Neem contact met ons op voor aanvullende kunstwerken van de kunstenaar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":4626,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[125],"product_tag":[85],"class_list":{"0":"post-4575","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-marianne-benko","7":"product_tag-benko","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nLife-levensboom - Gallery McSorley<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gallerymcsorley.com\/nl\/product\/leven-levensboom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"nl_NL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Life-levensboom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Oil mixed technique on canvas, 120 x 100 cm Marianne Benk\u00f6 (1952, Hongarije) \u2013 wandtapijten verweven haar innerlijke wereld met de beelden die ze om zich heen ziet.
