About this artwork
Bonde by artist Eline Martherus are characterised by the balance between light and dark, the appearance and disappearance of colours and shapes, with the colour indigo as the central point.
Eline studied Fashion & Design at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) with a specialisation in textile innovation. After this, she worked for five years as a designer for several major fashion brands. Through her then employer, she came in contact with indigo,… the plant and the pigment. “I became fascinated by dyeing fabrics with natural pigmentation.” She started dyeing pieces of hand-woven fabric in her mother’s bathtub. Painting became Eline’s new creative expression, with the freedom she previously missed in the setting of a traditional work week.
Without a preconceived plan and with materials such as brooms and brushes, Eline creates canvases full of movement and feeling, often on a large scale. In each work there is a coming and going of organic forms; sometimes clearly present .
