Studies - Marije van Wieringen

http://www.mvanwieringen.nl/studies

I often work 'after nature', for three reasons: first of all it teaches me what a subject really looks like. Secondly, it is a way to practise what is called 'hand - eye co-ordination'. It's like a violinist practising scales. And thirdly, it's a way of getting new ideas. Pencil on paper. Study for 'uprooted' executed on perspex. Pencil/paper. Study for 'trumpet tree' on perspex.

Becoming - Marije van Wieringen

http://www.mvanwieringen.nl/becoming

As part of my studies at the Marcus Aurelius School for Stoic Philosophy, I made a series of three paintings about human moral development, starting with a baby (Tabula Rasa or blank sheet), then a man (Prokopton or Stoic student), and the third one is Sophos, the sage. This last one is something that most Stoics hold to be an unattainable ideal of perfection, but worth striving for anyway.

Invictrix - Marije van Wieringen

http://www.mvanwieringen.nl/invictrix

Invictus' by William Ernest Henley:. Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. Invictrix 2, detail. 40 x 60cm (WxH). 40 x 60cm (WxH).

Nature - Marije van Wieringen

Everything is right for me, which is right for you, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which comes in due time for you. Everything is fruit to me which your seasons bring, O Nature. From you are all things, in you are all things, to you all things return. Marcus Aurelius. Nascentes morimur finisque, finisque ab origine pendet - From the moment of birth, we begin to die and the end depends on the beginning. oil on panel; photo: Piet Gispen Photography. 18 x 24cm (WxH). 70 x 100cm (WxH).

Landscapes of War - Marije van Wieringen

http://www.mvanwieringen.nl/landscapes-of-war

We are mad, not only individually, but nationally. We check manslaughter and isolated murders; but what of war and the much-vaunted crime of slaughtering whole peoples? Deeds that would be punished by loss of life when committed in secret, are praised by us because uniformed generals have carried them out.` Seneca, Epistles. Rotterdam, World War 2. 15 x 15cm (WxH). Arnhem, The Netherlands.
