Marloes Roeper (Texel, NL, 1998) is intrigued by the question of what exactly we see when we look at a painting. While closely observing her everyday surroundings, she is struck by objects, shapes and compositions that evoke in her the desire to paint. This desire is triggered not by the particular beauty of these discoveries, but by her fascination with the possibility of evoking meaning with a few brushstrokes. For Roeper, the painterly challenge is to achieve figuration with efficient means. Landscapes, tree branches and blades of grass are the motifs in her exploration of dissecting reality.
