Marjolijn de Wit (1979, NL), lives and works in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
She graduated from the Academy of Art and Design St. Joost in Breda and from 2008 – 2009 she was a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. The works of Marjolijn de Wit appear like vivid puzzles asking to be solved. Throughout the rich canvasses, every object and element together resembles the act of a (future) archaeology, challenging the spectator to speculate on the relationship between all parts of the paintings.
Until 26 February 2021
from Saturday 7 March till Saturday 11 April, 2020
