Greetje Mulder
Greetje Mulder graduated from the Social Academy in 1980 and from the Minerva Art Academy in 1992 (autonomous drawing and painting). She lives and works in De Biotoop in Haren.
She makes figurative drawings, assemblages and 'writings'.
Like film scenes from her memory, she captures images that move her, such as childhood memories, or events from later that have stayed with her. She want to capture not only the outside, but also the inner world.
Her assemblages consist of a colourful collection of discarded objects. By making new combinations of these 'touching things', they not only get a second chance, but they also form a new story.
Her 'writings' are texts strung together on cardboard that form calm rhythms and patterns. The figuration has disappeared. It is just about the handwriting, the cadence, the rhythm of the writing. This writing has an orderly effect, radiates harmony. A resting place for our eyes and brains in a world that has drifted away and is restless.
