MASTER SERIES - Masterpiece inspired by Rembrandt's technique.
Rick has, inspired by the technique of Rembrandt van Rijn, followed training courses and worked as a self-taught artist on study pieces for the past two years, before coming out with the first results for the first time. These are Rick Triest's Master Series.
The technique
Unlike Rembrandt, Rick first works with a charcoal drawing on canvas and then sets up the painting in a first dark layer of paint. After which he works up the work with white. Ultimately, a work in Rick's Master series consists of 8 to 12 layers of paint and works with Glazing techniques, (Frottis) dry brush techniques, Impasto technique and Alla prima technique (Wet in Wet) in parts.
Theme and Style
The painting style contract in each piece is what aligns with Rick's philosophy behind a work. The depth that is created between detailed details and rawer parts makes the works speak. The viewer, from a distance, experiences a completely detailed painting, but the rough painting comes to the fore on an approximation. In which thick blobs of impasto paint become visible. Due to this painting style, a work can be interpreted again and again, experienced differently and new parts come to light for the viewer. This is in contrast to realistic art or photography art.
The chosen themes can vary, they look purely at the interpretation of technique, art value or applied Rembrandt parts. This means that Rick applies parts of Rembrandt's work in his painting. Think of the sleeve of Joseph from the Jewish bride or the light and dark play by Rembrandt van Rijn.
Paintings by Rick Triest have a handmade wax seal and come with a certificate of authenticity. Rick's works are also finished with a layer of varnish.
Created as an unique piece
Visit the new studio
Based in Beinsdorp (Bollenstreek) Rick Triest has his Atelier & Gallery at home, an atmospheric space that exudes creativity. The painting studio reminds you of an old apothecary, full of various glass bottles, paint pots, tubes and other oddities that Rick needs to create his work. The smell of wet oil paint, varnishes and fixatives is reminiscent of an old painting studio. When you walk through his studio you see rough work and Rick's process, which makes for a special and memorable experience. In his new separately built Gallery you will find his latest work on display.
Frame making
In addition to Rick's Atelier & Gallery, he has a separate room where he makes his own frames and frames his work. The frames are carefully made by hand with professional equipment.
Below is a small impression of frames that are often used by Rick and are suitable for this artwork. All available frames can be viewed in the studio. You can put the desired frame together with the painting in your shopping cart, the delivery time will then be approximately 2 weeks instead of the above delivery time. The painting will be framed and delivered including a hanging system.
