Winner of the 2016 ABN AMRO Art Award, Marijn van Kreij has a multifaceted oeuvre comprising drawings and paintings on paper, objects, collages, slide projections, videos, and installations. Reflecting on ideas around repetition, autonomy, and abstraction, his work often forms a response to existing works of art, in which form and colour dictate both the process and the unpredictable result. Published in conjunction with an exhibition of a new series of artworks at Hermitage Amsterdam, and designed by Irma Boom, this book reproduces monumental paintings on paper, called the "Picasso grids", in which the artist selects details from Picasso's late paintings to serve as points of departure. «
