A Haunted, Brooding Mood


FROM KOLAJ 25

Martine Mooijenkind: Artist Portfolio
Gouda, The Netherlands

Reminiscent of Italian surrealist Giorgio de Chirico’s paintings from the early 1900s, Martine Mooijenkind’s collages demonstrate a deep sense of place that is being transformed. And like Chirico’s paintings, Mooijenkind’s collages convey a haunted, brooding mood, as if the characters in the collages are visiting the world one more time before it is gone, or they are gone from it. A portfolio of her work appears in Kolaj 25.
