"Many-sided photo|art in the heart of Delft"

Pulchri Studio Small Format exhibition Spring 2025 Inspiration for a new flower still life titled Bonbonnière Botero came from the work of Colombian artist Fernando Botero. His style, known as 'Boterismo', is characterized by the exaggeration of shapes, often depicted in round contours. The objects in Botero's work have a playful, almost cartoonish touch. This style can also be found in his flower still lifes, which are characterized by eye-catching convex shapes that are placed on top of each other. 'Bonbonnière Botero' can be seen and purchased this winter at Pulchri Studio in the exhibition Klein Formaat. All works in this exhibition are small in size and can be taken home immediately after purchase! My work is also for sale in the Pulchri Studio webshop . The flower still life is part of my Project Preserved , consisting of recreations of flower still lifes from different style periods in art. Flowers, vases and props in these works come from the thrift store. Period: February 18 to May 18, 2025 Address: Lange Voorhout 15, 2514 EA The Hague Information: pulchri.nl

In the 'Vitrine van Vertoon' of the Haagse Kunstkring, small works of art from 40 different enthusiastic participants will be for sale from 15 January. The works of art have a maximum size of 30 x 30 cm and a maximum sales price of €500. The work can be taken home immediately upon purchase! So you don't have to wait until the end of the exhibition period to pick up the purchased work. In short: a great gift idea! Come and have a look if you're in the area ♥ In the Display Cabinet I show my mini flower still life 'Memphis Whispers'. The name of the Memphis Group can be found in the name of my work. This group - described with a wink as "a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price" - was founded in the eighties of the last century by the Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. This movement introduced a style that was inspired by various art movements, including Constructivism from the Interbellum and Pop Art from the sixties. The Memphis Group style is characterized by striking colors and geometric shapes. In this small flower still life (30 x 30 cm) 'Memphis Whispers' I play with the use of color and formal language that refer to the Memphis style. The flower still life is part of my Project Preserved , consisting of recreations of flower still lifes from different style periods in art. Flowers, vases and props in these works come from the thrift store. Period: January 15 to April 6, 2024 Address: Denneweg 64, The Hague

The miniature garden vase, which forms the starting point for this still life, put me on the trail of magnificent and lush gardens in the rococo style. This compact but meticulously crafted work plays with the elegance and lush ornamentation of that period. Clear light blue, fresh lemon yellow and green tones radiate a frivolous energy, while the graceful lines and abundant flowers reflect the lighthearted charm of this style period. 'Échos du Rococo' can be seen and purchased this winter at Pulchri Studio in the exhibition Klein Formaat. All works in this exhibition are small in size and can be taken home immediately after purchase! My work is also for sale in the Pulchri Studio webshop. The flower still life is part of my Project Preserved, consisting of recreations of flower still lifes from different style periods in art.

Barok! Still life in autumn tones

The annual Autumn Salon starts at Pulchri Studio in The Hague at the end of September. This late summer exhibition offers a varied range of new visual art. The participants have a chance to win the Van Ommeren - De Voogt Prize. This year the jury consists of Michel Hoogervorst, Bo Oskamp, Siebrand Weitenberg, Anna de Voogt and Ed van der Kooy. I hope to meet you at the festive opening on Saturday, September 28 from 5:00 PM. My contribution to the salon consists of two related flower still lifes. The first still life 'Expressionismus' is modeled on a painting by Jan Sluijters that he made in 1930. In the 1930s Sluijters experimented extensively within the Expressionism movement. The painting on which my work is based contains dark, powerful tones with a single contrasting element and an elegant composition, which create an intense atmosphere. A flower still life by Paul Klee formed the basis of the second still life entitled 'Blumen in Gläsern'. He painted it in 1925, during the heyday of his transformat

Haagse Kunstkring chairman Anita Poolman has taken the initiative for a program around International Women's Day (March 8), with the title Quand même! , the motto of famous theater icon Sarah Bernhardt. There are exhibitions programmed, a salon, lectures and a poet's afternoon. In this context, a special group exhibition will open on Saturday, March 2, with work by: Mieke Schlaman, Lizan van Dijk, Carla Krutzen, Leidi van Leeuwen, Jacqueline Louter-Hoos, Mariska Mallee, Ingrid Rollema, Tamara Traxel and Fenneke Weltevrede. I cordially invite you to come and view the exhibition. I am showing a new work entitled 'In the wings' . I found inspiration for this work in Symbolism, and specifically the work of Odilon Redon. In 1900-1901, Redon made a series of innovative representations with flowers and branches that seem to float in a vacuum, as an abstraction of our inner world. 'In the Wings' refers to theater elements such as the stage, the facade, the decor and the wings on either side of the stage. It symbolizes ambiguity, layering, fragility, and playing with illusion. It includes two apparently identical images. While one image approaches the scene head-on, the other reveals a look behind the scenes. Opening exhibition: Saturday March 2, 3 p.m. Period: February 28 to March 24, 2024 Address: Denneweg 64, The Hague Information: haagsekunstkring.nl The artist will be seen On March 10 from 3 p.m., Paul de Mol will lead a conversation with visitors and artists about a number of selected work. Program 'Woman in Art' In addition to the above exhibition, the program includes among other things: a poets' matinee on March 17 with the participation of, among others, Margriet van Bebber, Edith de Gilde, Mariet Lems and Margriet Westervaarder; a sculpture exhibition in the garden with, among others, Mary Bezembinder, Thea Bonnecroy, Marieke Cordesius, Antonia Groeneveld, Hedwig Smulders and Selma Weerenbeck; a lecture on March 23 'Thomas Mann and the Pringsheims' provided by Margreet-den Buurman.

Exhibition The Hidden Source was created through a collaboration between photographers collective Nomads of Sehnsucht, of which I am a member, and poets from the Arts Department of the Haagse Kunstkring. Together we looked for the deeper meaning of the theme The Hidden Source. Poets from the Haagse Kunstkring selected or wrote poems that fit the theme. The photographers of Nomads of Sehnsucht, in turn, based their works on these poems. This has resulted in an interesting, associative exhibition that can be viewed and read. In the context of the theme, I made a new diptych entitled Rêve Blue . It symbolizes a dream world, the mysterious, the fragile, the source around which we flutter. I found my inspiration in Symbolism, one of the innovative art movements that emerged during the Fin de Siècle, with a particular focus on the work of Odilon Redon. In 1900-1901, this French painter made a series of groundbreaking panels with loose flowers and branches that seem to float in a vacuum without specific space or time. Work that focuses on our magical inner world. Redon: "My paintings cannot be defined. They place us, like music, in the ambiguous realm of the indefinite." I cordially invite you to this exhibition, which opens on December 2 at 4:00 PM. Participating poets Haagse Kunstkring: Anne Tjerk Mante, Corina Engelbrecht, Gerrit Vennema, Hans Franse and Theo Monkhorst. Nomads of Sehnsuchtleden: Annemarie van Buuren, Baukje Venema, Jacqueline Louter-Hoos, Mariska Pool, Mark van Hattem, Nicole Hagesteijn and Olga Rook. 'The Artist is Seen' On December 10, 2023, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Paul de Mol will discuss the exhibition with visitors and artists. Please be welcome to this meeting.
