The Botanical collection is painted with traditional oil paint on wood.Marianne Hendriks spends a lot of time in nature observing and studying plants. Marianne’s work consists of logical and non logical patterns that imitate nature devering from what is found in the natural world. The work is strongly influenced by her background in architecture, the plants are presented with a technical blueprint-like appearance, capturing geometry, rhythm and structures.

Exclusively at the The Other Art Fair the new drawing editions are available. Created with high end materials on Arches archival cotton paper and a mix of mediums of pencil, ink, aquarel (watercolour) and gouache. Guaranteeing longevity and quality. The premise of the collection is for the artist to explore different ideas, experiment freely outside of a definite collection.

The work is not meant to be coherent and the work is meant to be evolving and reflective and serves also as study. The artist's intention is to create work that is personal with a diary-like perspective. It is important to the artist to maintain creative freedom, to develop herself and allow her to change directions. The way the tools and mediums are used by the artists is dependent on experience in both craft and life and personal values. The artist sees this as a very important part of the artist's practice and intends to continue the drawing series.

Experimental work by artists is often kept private and is not encouraged by galleries because it is harder to sell. Marianne Hendriks finds it important to further challenge and evolve not only just as an artist on a personal aspect but also in the context of our heritage and culture.
