Catalogue information
Ada Duker (1955) has a lasting fascination with the architecture of the Italian Renaissance, especially with the master builder Andrea Palladio. He made a great impression on her with his pure architectural designs. Those designs form the basis of Duker's paintings; after extensive study, she makes her own interpretations on linen, often in a small format. In transparent acrylic paint she subtly stacks form and color layer by layer. Many picture elements are also repeated in a sketchy manner at a fixed cadence. The color seems to increasingly determine the shape and her visual language has also become increasingly minimalist over the years. In her most recent work, we only see vague, rather airy reminiscences of classical architectural works looming in a bright light environment. This painting is in excellent condition
