Marian Breedveld
You hold [the material] in your hands, you yourself are part of the work, your body has to cooperate. That’s what makes it exciting and unpredictable. It’s how the piece retains a character of its own. You’re physically connected.

Marian Breedveld (1959, the Netherlands) has found her own way in abstract painting. In her paintings, the process, the result, the matter and the unimaginative representation are all equally important. Her goal is to make the boundaries of time and space tangible through matter. Breedveld plays in her work with the possibility that the spectator disappears in that spaciousness, but is always recalled by the presence of the paint as a substance.
