Rita de Muynck
Under the Skin
Expressionistic and imbued with colour, the work of Rita De Muynck draws the observer into an autonomous world of experience. Dreams, the vigorous subconscious and synesthesia find sensual expression in her large figurative paintings and witty day and night drawings. This lavishly illustrated book presents her work from 1998 to 2013, accompanied by literary and scientific essays as well as personal contributions.

description
This is the first volume of Rita de Muynck's comprehensive oeuvre which is treading among the tensions of self-induced trance, emotional reality and free colour. Her unique style is characterized by the interconnection of the senses (for example using color to represent sound) and the expression of existential experiences. The sculptures and installations she creates reflect on current circumstances, often with great humor. Born in Belgium Rita De Muynck presently lives in Munich and has a studio in the foothills of the Alps. Her work and performances have been shown, among other places, in Munich, Budapest and Paris.
press commentaries
Bei de Muyncks humorvollen Installationen werden die Besucher oft synästhetisch mit eingebunden - ganz so wie es dem Leser und Betrachter geht, sobald er das Buch zur Hand nimmt.
UND kunstjournal
Ihre Bilder leben von der Symbolik des Unbewussten und bieten eine Expressivität, wie man sie von den Neuen Wilden kennt. Der reichhaltige Band stellt das eigenwillige Werk erstmals vor.
