Jette van
der Lende ‘s photorealistic stillifes are intimate compositions with
amazing attention to textures, surfaces, and the materiality of the
objects depicted. With pristine lines and immense detail, van der Lende
paints both common objects from present and past eras, and images from
nature.Beautifully
lit against a dark background as in a traditional portrait studio,
these objects assume the elegant dignity of a carefully posed model.
van der Lende worked for many years as a draftsperson in an
architecture office, her interest in architecture contributing to the
graphic, precise style in which she paints. Using a reflective black
glass table as a backdrop for her stillifes, van der Lende takes a
highly figurative approach to exploring the cubist consept of
simultaneously revealing many angels of one object. Van der Lende was
born in Copenhagen , Denmark , and raised in Norway . As an artist she
has participated in several exhibitions and competitions in Norway and
abroad.
