In this exhibition, Anna Maquet presents us with the reflection of intimate questions about her condition as a woman, and as a human being in general, in today’s society. Often, she feels closer to a plant than to a woman of her time. The colourful and eclectic paintings that make up the exhibition reflect these questions. It is a search for form to express this feeling of being strange and misfit. The “Out of the ground” exhibition aims to be a message of acceptance of the subtle and strange being that we are.
Anna Maquet (born 1989) is a visual artist who seeks to question and blur the culturally erected boundaries between humans and nature. She deeply believes in the vital need to reconnect with nature and in the same way with one’s own nature. She graduated from the school of landscaping in Lille (FR) with an MA in landscape design and studied in Tartu at the Pallas University of Applied Siences in the painting department. Also inspired by the free practices of art therapy, she gives space to the process of spontaneous creation as a means of freely depicting an unconscious inner world and thwarting one’s own mental limits. In this way, she hopes to give voice to this being of nature buried in her.
