Reality Pictured 2.0
Before we 'officially' open the doors of our new exhibition spaces on October 30, you are welcome to visit the exhibition Reality Pictured 2.0 from September 29 - October 23. An extension (with some changes) of the exhibition that ended prematurely before the summer due to our move.
Reality Pictured
It began with Paul C茅zanne who, at the start of the 20th century, employed geometric lines to represent the reality of 鈥榟is鈥� mountain, Montagne Sainte Victoire. A few years later, in Munich, Wassily Kandinsky would abandon even that natural reality, producing the first painting without any recognizable features. Malevich in Moscow and Mondrian in Paris followed suit. Abstract art was born, although figurative art would never disappear, of course. No matter how closely they aligned themselves with abstraction, Braque and Picasso never entirely abandoned figurative art. To this day, figurative and abstract art remain the topic of 鈥榙ebate鈥� 鈥� sometimes heated, but mostly harmonious. It is up to the artist how they express the ultimate freedom of representation.
Over the space of one week, we will be visiting the studios of three painters, contemporaries who know each other well: Jurriaan Molenaar, Koen Vermeule, and Ronald Zuurmond. Visiting three studios in a short space of time forces us to contemplate similarities and differences within the same discipline. Similarities are easy to spot, in that all three use figurativism as an expression, as the output of their imagination. More interesting to observe is that all three take different routes to their artistic destination.
