Exhibition summary

This solo exhibition by artist Marijn van Oosten explores the intersection of perception, consciousness, and form. Through painting and drawing, the artist translates invisible inner structures into visual compositions that invite visitors into a state of heightened presence.

Curatorial context

In 'The Source Within,' artist Marijn van Oosten presents a collection of work focused on a refined sensitivity to perception. By registering subtle shifts in awareness, the artist transforms inner movement into material form, utilizing color, light, and composition to make intangible perceptual fields tangible for the viewer. Rather than framing reality as a singular, fixed narrative, the work encourages engagement with multiple states of being simultaneously. The exhibition is informed by the artist's 'White Dot' awareness, a practice of sensing alignment within individuals and collective fields. Through her work, Van Oosten invites the audience to experience these layered states of transition and potential, turning each artwork into a mirror or a point of coherence. By exploring what lies beneath visible appearances, the exhibition serves as a visual inquiry into the nature of experience, consciousness, and the formation of meaning.
