ed.itions: ramnek done
We've been going on about the ed.itions: Ramnek project for quite some time now. And you know what, finally it's done! ed. proudly presents four silkscreen prints by Cilla Ramnek, which hang nicely together in a group but also go very well one on one.
– I have never before worked with silk screen printing, but think I'm a little psychic. Three weeks before I was asked, I went and bought a book about silkscreen, says Cilla Ramnek. I have all that in me, from my textile background.
In the prints, we meet Ramnek’s very own imagery.
– I always work abstract, although one can discern details from everyday life, like a sweater or a chair, in my pictures. However, the abstract is not disconnected from reality. If one imagines that the eyes are a camera, they photograph a variety of compositions each time they are opened. I processes those compositions and insert them into my pictures. What looks abstract is actually real, it's just that I reproduce it with my own alphabet.
Making edition works has long attracted Cilla Ramnek.
– I like the democratic thought, that art becomes accessible to more people. I always try to work in a way that allows me to reach out to many. I have a decorative layer in my work so that many people can like them, but that does not mean I'm not serious. I like to say "I'd rather be inclusive than exclusive"!
