The composition of Dutch still life artist Joke Frima’s (b.1952) paintings, choice of plant, combined with her hyperrealistic style, give her botanical work a distinctive feel. In some of her paintings we are drawn into sweeping botanicalscapes by getting a low-down, enmeshed perspective. In other works, like her still life arrangements, she manages to evoke a voyeuristic, less participatory intimacy. Together they demonstrate her unique view and appreciation of plants in both natural and domesticated settings.
If you are interested in seeing more of her work see Galerie Mokum or her website for further details.
