A new exhibition in The Curaçao Museum:
PURE PASSION
Marjon Wegman & Rien Te Hennepe.
Thursday, August 15th, 2024,
From 19:00 to 21:00,
at The Curaçao Museum.
This month, The Curaçao Museum celebrates and remembers Marjon Wegman (1948-2024) with the opening of the retrospective exhibition PURE PASSION, showcasing artworks created by Marjon and Rien te Hennepe over the years.
Marjon Wegman unexpectedly passed away in March this year as the museum was planning an exhibition with her and Rien. Marjon had been enthusiastically working on some new pieces for this upcoming exhibition.
Thanks to Rien and some very good friends, the museum secured some of Marjon’s unique artworks. These include the colorful mosaics she started with, the sea grape leaves she loved to paint on, and her colorful ceramics inspired by the Curaçao nature they both love so much.
Together with Rien’s impressive sculptures, beautifully carved out of different-sized Tafelberg stones, forever and always hiding a surprise in them until he brings it out, the museum created a unique exhibition showcasing the pure passion of this couple, forever united in their pure passion for art.
Meet & Greet with Rien te Hennepe
After the opening of the exhibition PURE PASSION, Rien is ready for an interactive meet-and-greet, where he will elaborate on his and Marjon’s process and manner of working. He will show examples of how the beautiful colors of the ‘Tafelberg’ stones he works with can be made lighter and brought to their full potential.
