A World Interrupted: The Visual Intermissions of Thea van Doorn

Leiden From September 2, 2021 to September 28, 2021

Presentation
Many of Thea van Doorn's (1947) paintings show small, simple moments in time. Thea observes those around her living their lives and documents these moments from her memory of the experience. In this selection of paintings by Thea, we can visually examine the uncertainty felt while living through a truly global crisis. This sense of tension and the apparent fragility of normalcy became universal concerns during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is through this contemporary lens that Thea’s paintings feel so familiar, they capture our collective experience. And as we now try to reclaim our lives, it's healthy to keep in mind how we are alone with ourselves and our thoughts.

Thea van Doorn produces her most dynamic works when she can attend live jazz concerts surrounded by people. In this way, she can pick up on the music and energy of everyone there. Aside from paintings, she creates beautiful drawings on paper and on her iPad. About half the works in this exhibition were created in 2020.
