Sustainability

Ida Broekhart is guided by the idea of reincarnation, the intergenerational balance and the responsibility humans carry.Working with recycled materials has been an important topic for her creations. Most of the materials used are purchased at local markets and in ‘junkshops’. On her quests the materials will inspire her. Basic materials can be industrial waste, scrap textile, old knitted jumpers, rejected strings of wool, pre-owned dolls and vintage buttons from factory stock clearances. Like a beachcomber she also looks for stuff in the surrounding woods, along the river-side and on the North Sea beach. All places in cycling distance. She collects, selects and one day it will be transformed into something new. Her work results in a dynamic type of art which links the past to the present.

Vintage Vitrages

Afvalproducten staan symbool voor de hedendaagse maatschappij en vitrages hebben sinds mensenheugenis een decoratieve functie. Door (industrieel) afval in haar kunstobjecten te verwerken wil Ida Broekhart aandacht geven aan de Intergenerationele Balans. De vintage vitrages worden met tomatentouw tot wandobjecten geweven op een weeftoestel, al eeuwenlang door indianenvolken gebruikt. Het doorgaans synthetische product kleurt prachtig bij de biologisch afbreekbare vezels van jute. In dit proces wordt woningtextiel tot een tweedimensionaal wandobject getransformeerd. Van afval tot ecologisch verantwoord symbool van welzijn gemetamorfoseerd.

Bauhausgroup

Rotterdam region based Broekhart loves colours and she has a great admiration for the bold colour use of textile artist Sheila Hicks. Ida’s favourite artist however, is Wassily Kandinsky, most of all because of his sophisticated use of colours and shapes. Kandinsky’s Bauhaus textile artists group and their use of non-traditional materials has been an important influence. Their materials were mixed and build with textiles to challenge people’s perception.

'Kunstwerken Voor Water'

Publicatie textielwerk Ida Broekhart in de 'Kunstwerken voor water' catalogus, waarin informatie over 19 (inter-) nationale kunstenaars. Broekhart werd geselecteerd om te exposeren in het Provinciehuis Utrecht ten behoeve van Wereld-Water-Dag-2015 . De titel van de expositie "War, Peace & Beauty" is gebaseerd op de transitie van de 'Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie'. Van een gebied met militaire functie via een periode van vrede naar recreatieve mogelijkheden. De 200 jaar oude militaire verdedigings-linie is nu dankzij 70 jaar vrede een oase van rust voor mens, dier en plant in een steeds dichter bevolkt gebied ten oosten van de Randstad.

Textiles

Textiles is one of the first historical forms of art. Today there is a vast amount of Textile Art being produced and the medium still shows its diversity in all its forms in all sorts of businesses. The use of textiles and other flexible materials in art has aesthetic, functional and sustainable benefits. Textiles is not only called the 'fifth construction', textile art sweeps away the 2-dimensional limitations of painting, replacing it with the texture, colour and vibrancy which can only be achieved through fiber-art.

Post War Couple

Ida, a former teacher, uses her intuition and listens to the inner voice. She has always been attracted to the mystery and magic of life and finds astrology, psychology and symbols highly interesting and inspiring. The ideas of 'Eastern' philosophy guide her. So if you ask what inspires her she will answer it is from the supernatural, but at the same time Ida must admit that sometimes there is no clue at all. Take the ‘Post War Couple’ matter paintings. It took her a while to understand that it was about her parents and their PW-trauma’s.
