Marloes Roeper is intrigued by what we really see looking at a painting. When she observes het daily environment she is struck bu objects, shapes and compositions that trigger a need for painting them.

This desire isn’t triggered by beauty, but by her fascination for the possibility to create meaning with just a few brushstrokes. 

Roepers paintings seem to show relatable subjects, windows, a soccer field, electricity poles, pealed to their essence; for her the challenge is to achieve figuration with the most effective means. She wonders what a viewer needs to evoke an image that goes beyond frame, canvas and paint.
