Margriet Smulders: In de roos

Margriet Smulders (Bussum, 1955) is known most especially for her floral still lifes that are part of many collections in countless museums, companies and private collections. She combines flowers and fruits with mirrors and water, so that the theatrical character reaches maximum expression. She recently wove more strange elements into her still lifes: sometimes bloody or heavy and then airy and frivolous again. To celebrate the occasion of the Floriade 2012, Margriet Smulders is creating, with the title In de Roos (In the Rose), a monumental mural on the facade of Museum van Bommel van Dam. A work in which drawing and painting are surprisingly entwined.
