Marlies Appel | Galerie Inga Kondeyne | 25.10.-07.12.2024

From sheet to sheet, Marlies Appel curiously expands her new series of drawings from recent years, entitled ‘fold and snow, the Jungfrau’, which can be seen in this exhibition.

Looking at the mountain massif with its many crevices, she was overwhelmed by the different incidence of light and the dominant shadow furrows. In her drawings, deliberately created free colour fields, characterised by this natural impression that is so important to her, are now combined with simply structured networks of lines. Viewers sense the underlying experience of nature absorbed by the artist. The masses of snow on the mountain, the birds flying in formations, the play of clouds – everything is lyrically connected in the flow of the drawing.

Marlies Appel, (Dongen, 1945) lives and works in Overveen (NL); studied at the Rietveld Academy; she taught from 1979-1996 at the AKI, Enschede The Netherlands and from 1986-2006 at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam The Netherlands.
