Romy Muijrers 1990
Vit à Den Haag. Travaille dans Den Haag/Dordrecht.
Représenté par:
Galerie Maurits van de Laar
My visual language arises from the unattainable desire for people from times gone by and a feeling of homesickness, a longing for certain moments in my past. In my drawings, I give people and spaces I have memories of, a prominent place. This way, I also experience that the longing for the unreachable, conjures up a feeling that may never go away. It is precisely this feeling that I attempt to record in the drawing, hoping to rise above the meaningless existence.
I often work at a drawing for many hours in a row. When it comes to drawing, I see the paper as sheet music. I am making compositions with various shapes, both abstract and figurative, that either coalesce or clash. These shapes are born from my realm of thought, in which (unattainable) desires, memories and musings come together. I try to give them a space in a chaos of stains, pressed onto the paper with my skin. These skin prints represent the physical meaning of touch, togetherness or indeed the loss of someone or something.
When I am drawing, I need the chaos of the stains to retain structure. A process not unlike organizing the thoughts in my mind. Because of this chaos, my drawings tend to look crowded, which in turn results from a fear of missing and emptiness. I often use song fragments or pieces of literary texts in my drawings, although they are not necessarily legible. These fragments are sometimes ethereal, sometimes direct and at times they meander across the paper like my drawn lines.
