Antje Rook

Antje Rook is an international known textile artist. Her work is inspired by her environment, nature and people, also personal experiences. Sometimes she uses surreal elements in her work. Her art ranges from small delicate pictures to large expressive displays, mostly in vibrant colours.
Antje is the creator of the ‘Virus Project’, which is now in Dorset Museum. Her work is also part of the COVID Chronicle, an international tapestry project, which was shown in different cities in the UK and is still travelling around.
Recently Antje is more interested in conceptual art and is working on several projects.
She also organised and curated the ‘Home’ exhibition, which got a lot of attention. 17 artists showed work about their perception of the meaning of Home in a very personal and emotional way.
Her current project is an art project about death and dying, called ‘ The final journey ‘, where she works with 25 people from the community on the exploration of death and dying through art.
Antje is one of the artists who created the Portland Dress and is the owner of The Tiny Art Galley Portland together with friend and fellow artist Yollande Posthumus.
