Joannes Késenne | The Molecular Esthetics of Agnes Maes | 2010 |
Misschien is kunst al altijd meer begaan geweest met deelgebieden van realiteit, dan wel met het totale plaatje. Hoe de dingen zich af en toe tonen. Hoe ze zich in een hoekje schuilhouden.

The present works of Agnes Maes are a significant moment in the identification process through which she is struggling for a distinctive position in the artistic scenery, especially in the art of painting. Although a women has no age, her time has arrived for an energetic self-assurance in the realm of art. In recent years she is... |
