Eelke Renschke Bekkenutte (1993, Arnhem) creates expressive abstract paintings in which intuition, physicality and sensory experience take centre stage. Working between Portugal and the Netherlands, she has developed a visual language that feels raw, direct and deeply human. Her paintings emerge through movement, instinct and bodily presence — a search for authenticity in an increasingly digital and controlled world.
Renschke Bekkenutte employs unconventional techniques: painting with bare hands, extended brushes and closed eyes, while tearing and re-stitching the canvas as an essential part of the process. The painting therefore becomes not an image, but a trace of energy, emotion and physical experience.
Her oeuvre exists between chaos and control, vulnerability and strength. Through powerful fields of colour, spontaneous gestures and layered textures, she explores what it means to be truly present. The works feel both monumental and intimate — as though they carry traces of memory, movement and human touch.
Originally trained in photography at AKV St. Joost in Breda, she developed a multidisciplinary practice in which painting eventually became the most direct and honest form of expression. In 2019, she received the Mondriaan Fund Stipendium for Emerging Artists.
