NR 3 min
Transporting the viewer to a very different time and place Nellie is inspired by the life of Cornelia van Rijn Rembrandts illegitimate daughter who at the age of sixteen emigrated to Batavia presentday Jakarta Little is known about Cornelias life no portraits of her are known to exist But this omission from the history books was for the artist an opportunity to give her imagination free reign With this unsettling work Tan offers a touching homage to a forgotten woman whose suspended history becomes activated again
