Bio / Resumee / Statement:
Riedstra works at a contemporary level and builds on the fundamentality of truth instead of a clouded reality. She mediates between object and subject through paintbrush and canvas, by reflecting the mirror back at the viewer without proclaiming.
At this moment Riedstra works on a large project 'Walls Lisbon'in this series of 24 paintings the artist makes a record (through paintings) about the rapidly receding authenticity of Western European Cities by showing the authenticity of Lissabon.
These paintings will first be shown in Antwerp, Belgium at galerie Ludwig Trossaert May/June 2009
The paintings confuse and astonish the observer and invite them to share the emotional experience of the artist.
She let herself be inspired by the works of Marc Rothko in the Tate Gallery.
The works of Rothko and Michelangelo became the paradigm on which she bases her own works.
It is this such purity that is necessary for Riedstra to achieve in her art.
Riedstra studied in Tel Aviv, Isreal and in the Hague, Netherlands from the 1980’s onwards. …
She graduated from the MA Scenography department of St ’Martins College
In london, England, at the HKU in Utrecht, Netherlands and at the Theatre Institute, Seville, Spain
