Ruth Vannieuwenborg (°1989) will exhibit her work at TABLOO during this period. Her artistic journey started at the age of six at the Royal Acadamy for Fine Arts in Kortrijk, where she got to know different materials and processes. Her grandfather introduced her very soon in watercolour painting. After finishing the lower and secondary degree in Kortrijk, she switched to a higher degree of painting techniques at the Art Academy of Leuven. After being trained in several oil painting techniques during three years, she actually learns to work with acrylic paint and gets to know the possibilities of this medium.
During this interesting learning process Ruth likes to place daily topics and feelings in new contexts. Going from banal objets such as bottles and cups to more complicated emotions like capturing bottle happiness, she is convinced that everything gets a new dimension depending on the way it’s lightened. Communicating with images is present throughout her work… What if you were ‘the message in the bottle’? Which message would you bring? Or not bring at all?
