Marjan Teeuwen at Bruce Silverstein Gallery

Working with materials salvaged from destroyed buildings, Dutch artist Marjan Teeuwen creates abstract arrangements of forms that suggest paintings.  Here, she worked in an abandoned school in Johannesburg, South Africa during a 2015 residency to create an installation that speaks to a key theme – the inevitability of destruction and but also the hope of renewal.  (On view through April 14th at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in Chelsea.)
