Maartje Korstanje 1982

Vit à Groede. Travaille dans Groede.

Maartje Korstanje creates sculptures that are often based on crises and beauty in nature, and the influence of man on this subject. Korstanje’s work exists in between abstraction and figuration. This provides layered images that appeal to the imagination and provoke multiple interpretations. Characteristic of Korstanje’s sculptures are the crude shapes, often made of cardboard and glue, mixed together into cardboard-maché. She works with a variety of other materials and techniques as well. Classical sculptural crafts and skills for example bronze casting go hand in hand with new techniques as embroidery with a high-tech machine. Whether she works with bronze, textiles, PU-foam, plastics, ceramics or cardboard, her signature is still the same. At first glance, the sculptures seem familiar, but at a closer look they turn out to be something indefinable and there is much more to explore at the skin of the sculpture.
Maartje Korstanje (Goes 1982) studied at AKV / St. Joost, Breda and Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam (MFA). She was one of the winners of the Prix de Rome in 2007, did residency programs at Kunsthuis SYB, IBB Curacao, the European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC), Calcutta Art & Research Foundation - India and International Studio & Curatorial Program - New York. In 2014 she was nominated for the Volkskrant Beeldende Kunstprijs. Her work was part of groupshows at GEM - Den Haag, Museum de Pont - Tilburg, ISCP -New York, Marc Straus Gallery - New York. Ze had solotentoonstellingen bij onder andere Upstream Gallery, de Vleeshal - Middelburg, Zeeuws Museum, mariondecanniere - Antwerpen, Museum Jan Cunen - Oss, Stedelijk Museum Kampen and the Groninger Museum.

In 2019 -2020 her work is on show at Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Museum Jan Cunen, Museum Rijswijk and het HEM in Zaandam.

Maartje Korstanje, "Metamorphoses" solo exhibition Jan Cunnen Museum. Quote from the publication 'Metamorphoses' Maartje Korstanje, by Lucette ter Borg. Maartje Korstanje fits into a tradition of twenty-first-century visual artists who have left the dogmas of modernism far behind. Korstanje's images elicit those interpretations and associative connections. They are, as arte povera artist Jannis Kounellis once nicely described: 'the return of poetry in every possible way'. But they are more. They are from tomorrow, from now and from yesterday. They lie, hang and are dreamed in a time that only belongs to them. Sometimes I think they are the time - that strange phenomenon that you can imagine, but cannot exactly indicate what it is. Photo GJ v Rooij. Collection Museum Jan Cunen.
