Leaf through the book
A preview: leaf through some of the pages of the book.
Artist Pinky Messchaert is best described as a sculpture builder. Her sculptures are assemblages, built up from a variety of found pieces of iron, and they are a feast for the eyes.
Her creative power shows in the characters she gives her sculptures and in the playful way she brings new life to discarded materials.
This year marks 40 years of her work as an artist, a good reason to publish this catalogue. The book shows a fascinating journey from abstract to figurative. Characteristic of her work is the striking way she captures the essence of her subject.
A remarkable and independent-minded artist, world-famous in Utrecht, where for years she has shown her work in her shop window on the Hamburgerstraat.
Messchaert’s sculptures are surprising and playful; they wake up our imagination abruptly and refreshingly.
