Dorothy Circus Gallery re-interprets the concept of “Lolita” through the sophisticated works of the French digital artist Marie Blanco Hendrickx, aka Mijn Schatje, in her solo show “Mystic Lolitas”.
The traditional idea of lolita, sexy and teasing, is re-designed according to an aesthetic and philosophical ideal. Mijn Schatje turns the lolita into an angelical nymph, with diaphanous skin and big, sweet and hypnotic eyes, whose beauty lives on elegance and innocence.
Her maidens are immersed in an ethereal and surreal light and they seem to be made of the same substance dreams are made of. It’s easy to contemplate the fascinating world of Mijn Schatje and get lost in it. Spirituality, elegance and beauty melt together in a surreal way. Her nymphs are charming and their beauty becomes the link between the real world and a fantastic one in which a heavenly perfection rules. Following her mystic lolitas we can go back over the magic emotions of a lost season.
