Rianne, Westmaas 2016

This double portrait differs from other drawings I made from nurse Rianne: No skin.

The bed sheet and the fabric of her uniform become subject to the surface now. Her knee bends and both fabrics move along. 

The uniform of the nurse becomes part of a history of painted fabrics in art history. Not a rich sitter's robe though, but a certain sensuality is involved. More to come
