Solo exhibition
‘Looking for Janey’
Gallery Pulchri, the Hague
February 24th – March 19th 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The object that ignited Margje Bijl’s passion for Jane Morris in 2004 is the framed photocopy with the words \u2018Previous life\u2019 written on it. As predicted by the cup-bearer she recognised herself in Jane Morris\u2019s gaze. Exactly twenty years after the photocopy was given to her, Margje wishes to explore how this discovery has influenced her artistry with the solo exhibition called ‘Looking for Janey’.  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After discovering Jane Morris\u2019s name and life story in 2009 Margje Bijl first focused on their physical similarities. What she saw as the biggest difference, her hair, became a topic in itself. Based on the works of art for which Jane Morris posed in the 19th century Margje created the series \u2018Hair as in\u2019.
Over the years Margje gradually let go of the concept of the other and the waves of Janey\u2019s hair changed into the waves of Margje’s youth, which she spent on a liveaboard barge in Friesland. With the new series \u2018Water as in\u2019, Margje shows an authentic self-portrait, within the framework of her visual double biography.

Trio exhibition

Prize 2018′.
Gallery Pulchri, the Hague

\n

\n

‘The work is described as very unique and subtle by the jury members. By going to the edge of abstraction an exciting image is created. Due to the simplicity and good structure of the drawing, an extra dimension is created. The structure of the paper also plays a major role in the drawn image and vice versa. Are these waves or is it hair?’

Margje Bijl visited several of Rossetti’s, Jane and William Morris\u2019s former homes and took staged photos on location with the photographer Hein van Liempd. Referring to Jane Morris\u2019s life story Margje transformed Jane’s world into her own, adopting contemporary clothing and poses.

Solo exhibition
‘Reflections on Jane Morris’
Gallery the KunstSuper, Rotterdam
May 22th – July 10th 2010<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n


Dutch artist Margje Bijl (1975) was given a photograph of Jane Morris (1839-1914) and at first glance thought that she was looking at a photograph of herself. The discovery of the striking resemblances between herself and Jane Morris led to the project \u2018Reflections on Jane Morris\u2019.
Margje Bijl has created a twilight zone where two women from two different worlds meet. In this twilight zone the visual code language of the Victorian era flows effortlessly into our visual language of today.
