Last days | Marenne Welten | Double Take

 
ALBADA JELGERSMA GALLERY
 

 
This is the last week to see the exhibition:
   
Marenne Welten
Double Take
  
Through April 23
 
In her work, Marenne Welten seeks to depart from the familiar, away from the known. The more time you spend looking at her paintings, the more they reveal. From single brushstrokes, figures and interiors appear, charged with emotion and a certain historical baggage. 
 
In Double Take, Welten aims to see the place she grew up in through new eyes. In her mind, she walks through the rooms as if for the first time, focusing purely on forms, colors and dimensions. From that she gets to work, allowing herself to experiment with new ways of painting. To unlearn what she has learned.
 
You're welcome to come by. We are open Wednesday – Saturday from 1-5 pm.

"The interiors are often dark and sometimes so abstract that at first glance you only see colors and stains. Welten is increasingly looking for that abstract side. 'I don't want to literally paint things. Painting is mainly a lot of breaking down. But the emotions have to be [removed]#34;  Kees Keijer, Het Parool
