ASSESSMENT: Stamp

INTRODUCTION

Part of this assessment is our visit to the Zeeuws Museum (Middelburg). There we visited the show 'Tasten in het Duister'. Starting point of the show is the discovery of a lost painting by Reymerswale. Then a group of artists is being ask to use this painting as a starting point for an own work that reflects or responds to this painting.

Our assignment is to look for an art work or an object and reflect/respond on that in the same way as has happened in the show 'Tasten in het Duister'.

(STAMP OF) QUEEN BEATRIX - PETER STRUYCKEN

For this assessment I choose the stamp of Beatrix, the former queen of Holland, designed by Peter Struycken. The image is beautifully made out of little dots. Together the form a portrait of Beatrix. My idea is to use this stamp as inspiration for my own stamp. Basis for my own stamp is a self-portrait I took a few years ago.
