Dorothy Circus Gallery proudly presents Mijn Schatje’s solo show
From 16th April to 30th May 2010, Via Nuoro, 17 (Rome) Dorothy Circus Gallery re-interpretates the concept of “Lolita” through the sophisticated works of the French digital artist Marie Blanco Hendrickx, aka Mijn Schatje, in her solo show “Mystic Lolitas”.
The traditional idea of lolita, sexy and teasing, is re-designed according to an aesthetic and philosophical ideal. Mijn Schatje turns lolita into an angelical nymphe, with diaphanus skin and big, sweet and hypnotic eyes, whose beauty lives on elegance and innocence.
Her maidens are immersed in an ethereal and surreal light and they seem to be made of the same substance of dreams are made of. It’s easy to cotemplate the fascinating world of Mijn Schatje and get lost in it. Spirituality, elegance and beauty melt together in a surreal way. Her nymphes are charming and their beauty becomes the link between the real world and a fantastic one in which a heavenly perfection rules. Following her mystic lolitas we can go back over the magic emotions of a lost season .
Dorothy Circus Gallery proudly presents to the Italian public sixteen brand new works by the gorgeous digital artist Mijn Schatje. Born in France to a Spanish father and Dutch mother, lives in Paris where he graduated in Fine Art and Graphic Design.
