Overview

"My truth is different from yours. Yet we both see the truth.
My presence is different from yours. Yet we both are present!"

Nanon Morsink defines herself as a mixed media artist, an appropriate title for her eclectic use of materials. Her work is notable for the creation of captivating figures and paintings, often incorporating recycled elements such as rope and plastic from Andalusian greenhouses, the latter being the most recent. Her ability to continually evolve and take her work to new directions gives her a fresh, ironic and unique style.
 
In her creative process, Morsink not only explores the emotional connection with different materials, but also critiques controversial aspects of society that are often considered acceptable. Her work becomes a platform to question and challenge contemporary social conventions. This unique perspective adds an extra dimension to work that reflects both her life experience and an acute reflection on her social analysis.
 
Originally from the Netherlands, Nanon currently resides in Spain and her work is actively exhibited globally, including most recently an exhibition in Chicago. In 2019, her work was highlighted at the World Textile Biennial in Madrid, and her art is part of several collections, including the RABO Art Collection, Hengelo City Hall, Medisch Spectrum Twente Hospital Enschede, Kunstuitleen Hof 88, among others. In addition, his work can also be found in private collections, such as the Lindner Collection.

Her work, characterized by its multifaceted narratives, delves into a diverse range of themes, reflecting the depth of her artistic exploration.

 

One distinctive hallmark pervades all of Nanon's creations—the unwavering dialogue she nurtures between the spectator and the represented. In her realm, the represented is never entirely unveiled, existing in a state of veiled ambiguity. Simultaneously, Nanon does not demand direct participation from the viewer.
