MARC MULDERS. FLOWERS AND ANIMALS
29.09.2018 - 27.01.2019

Marc Mulders’ (b. 1958) studio is a barn in the middle of a field of flowers. As he stands painting in the doorway, bees buzz and butterflies flit around his easel. Mulders calls his garden ‘my own private Giverny’, in reference to the famous gardens of Claude Monet, one of his artistic heroes. His impasto, almost abstract, oil paintings follow the natural world he sees around him. ‘In spring and summer I sniff all the aromas. In the autumn I paint with the echo of all those magnificent flowers in my head. And in winter I’m driven by a longing for the new flowers that will grow in my field’, he says.

Gemeentemuseum Den Haag will pay tribute to Mulders with a small retrospective in the Berlage Room to mark his sixtieth birthday.
