Anita Gaasbeek-Ruigrok (1964) Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague

Anita about her paintings: “I have painted people in motion for years now. People who dance. I take a big interest in dancers and theatres. I like to draw sketches in the studio’s of dance companies such as Scapino Ballet Rotterdam or Nederlands Dans Theater. I make my sketches with a big brush on large sheets of paper, using ink or acrylic paint for even more colour. For me the challenge is to catch the tension and motion of the moving dancers. Very often, I put these sketches in a frame and show them in exhibitions. Also I use these sketches to work out paintings in more detail in my studio.

After this I was inspired by the Argentine Tango. I have visited tango saloons and came across some beautiful tango lyrics. Tangodancers demonstrated the dance for me, allowing me to make sketches. In my studio I have put together the elements of the lyrics, their stories and the images into tangopaintings in mixed media on canvas.

In Italy in recent years I made model sketches and paintings with pigments, egg tempera and other materials.
