Marjolijn de WIT
Bricks, Bones, Cuts & Stones
Exhibition from Feb. 04th to Mar. 12th, 2017
Marjolijn de Wit’s first solo exhibition in France
Marjolijn de Wit’s work still testifies a substantial engagement with society
in which formerly named issues are pressed upon. De Wit’s work has never
been based purely on humanity’s quest for control of nature. From the
beginning, De Wit’s fascination has not only been for the moral side of
compulsive cultivation, but also for the aesthetics. Instead of a thematic
approach she now works at the idea through thought experiments: what
would such a world look like? De Wit looks for the interface of culture and
nature, the intriguing no-man’s land that exists through the raffled edges of
urban planning. At the same time she touches on the history of abstract art
– Mondriaan, who liked to sit with his back to nature. This bears a lively
new visual language.
Still engaged, the work is more subtle and complex. Also more unsettling; the
images of a world between order and chaos, the remnants of the left over
space between drawing table visions and organic growth; the uncultivated
property between formative, imaginative capacity and the capricious,
uncontrollable compulsion for life.
