Botanical Tales
Betoverd door hun mystieke verschijning visualiseren zes kunstenaars hun persoonlijke band met planten en bomen. Kunstenaarscollectief Botanical Tales werpt vanuit zes persoonlijke invalshoeken licht op de schoonheid en wijsheid die besloten ligt in de botanische wereld. De liefde voor natuur en de nieuwsgierigheid naar het karakter, gedrag en het materiaal van planten en bomen, brengt de zes bij elkaar. Iedere kunstenaar onderzoekt de persoonlijke verbinding met planten en bomen en vertelt het eigen verhaal dat tot uiting komt in een kunstwerk.
Enchanted by their mystical appearance six artists visualise their personal connection with plants and trees.
The specially formed artist collective ‘Botanical Tales’ sheds light on the beauty and wisdom that lies within the botanical world from six personal angles. Their love for nature and a shared curiosity about the character, behavior and material of plants and trees brings the six together. Each artist explores a personal connection with plants and trees and tells her own story, which is expressed in a work of art.
Groeneveld Castle
And also the story of the location of the exhibition: Groeneveld Castle in Baarn. Looking for a space connected to nature, the choice falls naturally on this castle, home to Staatsbosbeheer since 1940. All works are inspired by nature and some are even made of natural material that can be found in the garden and woods surrounding the castle. A space has also been set up with an educational function, where visitors are given an interactive explanation of ‘blessen’, the markings you sometimes see on trees.
