Works for the 2017 Rijksstudio Award

1. «Lot and his Pillows»

This set of biomorphic pillows is inspired by the picture Lot and his Daughters by Hendrick Goltzius. The warm skinlike shades in the color pallet and soft abstract shapes of the pillows recreate twisted bodies shown in the original picture. Pillows can be grouped into different compositions appearing as different body curves seducing you to lay down and fall into a heady sleep. Resting on them can make you feel as a part of the masterpiece.




2. «Plein Air a Haarlem»

When working on a plein air the most important things to take with you are inspiration and good sun protection. The range of sun protection creams with the images of beautiful naked bodies by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem can be both! The shape of the packaging is similar to a tube of paint which fits perfectly into a painters case. And the fragments of the paintings are not only for decoration, but also indicate the level of sun protection factor — the lighter skin means the higher level of protection. Images used in the design: The Fall of Man and The Massacre of the Innocents.




3. «Keep Reading!»

Reading has never been a team activity, but probably everyone has once came across a book that seemed to be impossible to wade through alone. Especially for such cases these bookmarks were made! Look at the stern eyes staring at you and strictly telling you to keep reading! No more half-read books! It becomes impossible to tear yourself away from reading! (I mean, seriously, you’d better not even to try)




4. «Sleep that knows no breaking»

Since 1678, when Melchior d ‘Hondecoeter created
The Contemplative Magpie, the painting has been surrounded by a mystical aura. Wherever it appeared, it was accompanied by strange sounds... All these years, a goose in the picture has been presumed dead, what made a huge part of the audience feel upset. Everything became clear when his portrait was placed on this sleep mask! It turned out that he was just sleeping, and mysterious sounds were... simple snoring.
Uf, what a relief!



5. «Three Mature Peaches»

Modern sophisticated audience had seen a lot, but
Rijks exhibits can dish it out despite their venerable age. Look how the innocent peaches by Adriaen Corte appear much more piquant than at a first glance. This is mature art for mature audiences.
If you know what i mean
