Marie Reintjes - Temporary Terrain

Balancing between abstraction and figuration, Dutch artist Marie Reintjes (b. 1990) paints landscapes, urban scenes, and references to family photo albums. In seemingly simple brushstrokes, she visualizes the essence of an image, evoking an atmosphere of tranquility. With a colour, a mark, a line or a streak, Reintjes transforms places and scenes into spaces of memories. 'I reduce our busy, hectic world to a few brushstrokes and elevate the small, everyday to something grand,' says Marie Reintjes.
