2015 is a “grand cru” of Mayke’s work, returning to some of her basics with that ability to meld the abstract with the figurative expressed with depth and texture.
Then again her work theme this year is in short “Moi-je”. “Moi-je” that “id”expression of the French language, it expresses a sort of innate, instinctive, often impulsive “me, I”, that “id”, recognizable when thinking back to candidate Holland’s now become colloquial “Moi President”, Moi-je… ever since a question in her mind.

There is an introspective on time as above in her “Je-Moi looking back through the maze of time”, then she rolls out variations on the expression,
from the rambunctious in-your face defiance, perhaps not politically correct but Bruno jumped on it for this year’s exhibition flyer announcing the September 4 opening or vernissage if you will, here is a link:
