Exhibitions & Events
Exhibition -- Daniel Gautier: Land and Sea
Opening June 10, 2012
The exhibition is inspired by Gautier's subject of predilection: the sea, its shores and his memories. The works will portray boundless sea and sky alongside vast lands. "It is through my walks on the shore, kayaking and boating expeditions that images and colours start taking form" said Daniel Gautier. "I return to my studio with my head full of impressions and ideas which I sketch from memory" he continues. More details

Exhibition -- Henk Gringhuis: Rural Movement
Opening Reception August 3, 2012, 7:00-8:30pm (the artist will be present)
Nothing is taller, more open, than the sky. We want to look up at the sky but the sky begins at the earth we are standing on. Looking at Henk’s work is entering open spaces, in which you can wander but not for long because you want to stand still and look at the sky and the clouds creating, erasing and recreating themselves. The horizon is visible but every step towards the end of the field will lead you to a new end. The buildings have no doors to go inside, no windows to look outside, they tell the story of occupants, who once surrounded by the emptiness, abandon their homestead to move away past the horizon, leaving their land behind more empty.
