About
Anke Roder lives and works in Zandeweer, north coast of the Netherlands. Her studio is surrounded by a large artistic garden, the colours of nature are of great importance for her practice.Within the works, the atmosphere and interplay of light and space in a natural environment shows mountains and clouds, rising above deep waters. Some of the most varied and unusual colours can be found at the eastern sky, opposite the midnight sun. Colours of early light are mesmerizing in shifting hues and ocean light stretches languidly to all wind directions. The landscape is always in motion.
Roder’s encaustic seascapes, sensuous satin slabs anchored along a welded horizon, ooze light. The ancient beeswax and pigment technique, applied in molten layers, conveys a contained elemental energy, loading the northern colours within a saturated interior. Seasons, light and weather are all captured, distilled through a northern romantic sensibility into beautiful paintings.
