Marcel van Eeden
Marcel van Eeden's date of birth 1965 is crucial in his oeuvre. All representations drawn by him are derived from the time before his birth. This implies that he works after existing visual material found in old magazines, books or newspapers. The subjects vary from sober fifties' interiors, cartoons, fires, to abstract patterns or texts. By copying these pictures Marcel van Eeden takes control, as it were, of a period of time he did not experience himself; he literally bends it to his will.
