Tineke Smith (SmithArt) works between studios in Bussum, The Netherlands, and Lectoure, France. Active as a visual artist in 2D, 3D, installation and performance, she studied art, theatre and dance. Her work visualises the synthesis of imagination and the crossing of poetry, dance, music and image. She has a strong preference for nature and natural colours, for the earthy and for recycling: retaking the past through history, stories, materials and images, leaving the work open-ended, challenging and surprising. Her practice belongs to contemporary and conceptual art and is never fixed to one material, combining glass and iron, wood, rubber, wool and gelatine. Thematic and narrative, her work is inspired by the Bible, mythology and current events, raising questions about the present. Experimental and research-based, her work is minimalistic while manifesting monumentally. She is also the initiator of SmithArt Middelburg, a museal open space and podium for the crossing of contemporary art, music, dance and theatre.
