Erik Mattijssen: Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
Erik Mattijssen depicts everyday life with a unique twist. His colourful portrayals are devoid of people, although their presence is tangible. Under the title Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Museum MORE presents a varied selection of works from the artist鈥檚 oeuvre from the last 25 years, in which ostensibly cheery, nostalgic subjects elicit a sense of alienation. His drawings in pastel, gouache and pencil on paper of puppets, household items and interiors evoke an intimate 鈥 at times oppressive 鈥 atmosphere, with surprising depth.
