Cornil Inge

Inge Cornil is strongly inspired by the regeneration process on planets earth as a result of the impact of mass consumption on the natural environment. The painter focusses on the battlefield where beauty, economy and ecology constantly meet and clash.

As an artist, she wants to break open the hinterlands of pristine settings in order to expose and raise awareness. EART WORKS, SEA WORKS and OCEAN WORKS reveal the toxic ‘cloudiness’ in the transparant waters of earth’s seas and oceans.

Each artwork is dynamically composed of 50 till 100 layers of natural pigments, combined with liquids on canvas. The layers presentation of matter showcases the scars of the painting and is reminiscent of earth’s tattoos caused by the chemical interaction of matter. 

Het paintings exhibit an intricate play between observation and concealment and between knowledge and ignorance. The monumental character of the painting makes it possible for viewers to connect with the story.
