Almost five years after her first solo exhibition Works, Marie-José Coenen returns to Galerie Noord with Works II.

Her work remains as intense and tranquil as ever. Art critic Eric Bos (Dagblad van het Noorden) wrote at the time: “Intriguing, exciting, mysterious, moving. The work of Marie-José Coenen is silent music.” Since then, her work has become even more assured, with greater variation in form and colour, more monumental and at times more playful.

Coenen works intuitively, without a preconceived plan. The image emerges as she paints, often from inner unrest. Her work develops in layers, sometimes painted over earlier pieces. The energy of that process remains visible: intense, lively and full of flair.

Marie-José Coenen studied at the Utrecht School of the Arts.

Galerie Noord.

Galerie Noord is een expositieruimte in hartje Groningen. Vierwekelijks bieden we kunstenaars uit het Noorden de mogelijkheid recent werk te tonen, solo of in kleine groepen. Galerie Noord richt zich op autonoom, experimenteel en onderzoekend werk in vrijwel alle disciplines. We willen bezoekers verrassen door tentoonstellingen te bieden met een wisselend karakter. 
 
Galerie Noord wordt volledig gerund door vrijwilligers. In 1997 werd de galerie opgericht als kunstenaarsinitiatief.
