About the artist test
Multi-disciplinary artist, Marleen Sleeuwits has a keen eye for the disconcerting quality of seemingly mundane spaces. Central to her work is the examination of impersonal environments – places that could be anywhere and nowhere. Marleen’s artistic style gradually evolved from photographing these spaces to interacting with them.
She frequently reuses location-specific materials – such as panels from suspended ceilings, carpet tiles, fluorescent lighting tubes and glass wool – in her installations. She plays with perspectives, optical illusions, and scale. In recent works, she has increasingly blurred the line between 2D photos and spatial art, calling into question the visual aspect of reality.
