'REMINDERS'
by Ellen Vrijsen
( s o o n )’s new art season starts with the solo show by Ellen Vrijsen titled REMINDERS.
The title hints at Ellen’s affinity with nostalgia, though this is tempered by a fundamental and exuberant enthusiasm. This duality runs through her work. Trained as an illustrator, she never imagined becoming an abstract painter, yet traces of the pictorial remain. It forms a continuous play of opposite forces. Over time, backgrounds have moved into the foreground, offering a more eloquent translation of her memories and emotions through colours, shapes and textures.
Additionally symbolism plays a vital role, resonating as an echo of a lived experience or emotion. Her practice is at once an ode to cherished, sometimes lost, moments of the past and a gesture towards hope for the future.
We warmly invite you to join us during the open weekends—or by appointment—and to take the time to immerse yourself in Ellen’s work, uncovering what it evokes for you.
You can find the preview below and more information about the artist here.
