Ambiente Spaziale 🖤🍭💜 by #luciofontana @d

Ambiente Spaziale 🖤🍭💜 by #luciofontana @designmuseumdenbosch

Fontana is best known for his iconic slashed paintings🔪🤯🔪, but Fontana’s work goes much further than that. He even made happy works like this one. Ambienti spaziali are being shown in NL for the first time since 1967

Lucio Fontana (1899–1968) was one of the 20th century’s most important avant-garde artists and continues to inspire artists, designers and architects to this day. He was a sculptor by training, created spatial installations, collaborated with architects 🥰 and designed jewellery. Do you love Fontana? Check out @fondazioneluciofontana

If you already know Fontana, than you would love this exhibition and learn more about his oevre and developments. Curated by @colinhuizing and on show until January 23 @designmuseumdenbosch

Gas Earthquakes Groningen #nimby @fvanderziel mad

Gas Earthquakes Groningen #nimby

@fvanderziel made this stunning #risoprint animation video about the earthquakes due to gas drilling in Groningen NL now @dutchdesignweek

His graduation project from @academieminerva shows that art schools address not only global challenges but also local challenges 🌏 Should our national need for Dutch gas result in personal challenges for locals? What do you see on this excerpt? 🦆Shaking not stirred? Or a fight with the shaking stove?

His artistic approach in our national flag colours and 7 shades of grey let you enjoy his work first & than subtly asks you, would you accept this shaky life? Thanks @myrnavdw for pointing out!🙏

The @dutchdesignweek is daily, up until Sunday October 24 in @eindhovencity. Visit & Support these designers, some worked for 2+ years on this expo!

Slow down. I can stand anymore!👣 The first @dutchdesignweek day was a blast!

Impressive to see such an extensive programme again in these post covid times. It's so nice to meet the energetic designers at the start of this week and enjoy the smiling people on the streets 🥰

@antoine______peters made these slow down artworks 👣🧶🪡 and you find him among many others like Dutch Musea in the (tip#1) Microlab hall in the Strijp S

He spray painted the 💙💎glass rocks himself in all kinds of different blue hues. Fantastic so see him grow as an artist and go for Big Art💪

Life stands still in this silent carrousel and the afterlife is watching you. No fun rides.💃🎩💀Magical work by Hans op de Beeck at the @triennalebrugge

Until October 24, 13 artists & designers show the romantic city of Bruges from a different viewpoint. The final weeks to experience the old city with contemporaryart without mass tourism🍂🎨

Should you visit the @triennalebrugge?😇

If you count by numbers, 13 works is not a lot. However, the silent city of Bruges without mass tourism from outside Europe, makes it thé perfect time to visit this fall 🍂

Until October 24, you can scroll around old town and enjoy the modern works at #triennalebrugge2021. It has different art locations than last time and you will -promise- enjoy the city walk.

Pine tree🌲❤ Strangler by #hectorzamora @triennalebrugge until October 24

Climbing the scaffolding installation makes you feel like a squirrel 🐿 The steel and aluminium construction wraps delicately around the tree

For the 2021 Bruges Triennial Hector Zamora executed this giant red scaffolding structure around an Austrian Pine tree in the in the centre of the walled garden of Gezellehuis. His work is strangling the tree without harming it. Slide to the see this huge construction! Hector is a Mexican visual artist living and working in São Paulo

Autumn in Rotterdam🌬🍂 welcomes my new family

Autumn in Rotterdam🌬🍂 welcomes my new family member, Jizo Bosatsu🇯🇵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jizo Bosatsu is one of the most beloved figures of Japanese Buddhism. His hands🙏 forming the gassho mudra of adoration. This little one originates from 1880 and is the protector of children, expectant mothers, firemen, and travelers. In Japan you often see him with a mini red knitted scarf 🧣& cap. Do you know someone who can help me with that?

Try and find your own version of calm😗🙏

Underwater love⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meet the artist @danielle_kwaaitaal! She creates these fantastic close up photographs with underwaterflowers 🌺 To me it looks more digital art. However, with the act of coincidence, a strange leave of twist of a flower, makes it feel real again.

This is my favorite one from the Florilegium series. it's the only I saw where it plays with the canvas, leaving room for a larger image. Would be great to see more of these playfull compositions. Now at @francisboeskeprojects @artthehague⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TIp, check out her new book, by @artpophistory and Arjan Peters, @tim.bisschop & @hooglandvanklaveren⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Imagining Canada in painting 🇨🇦 Openingsweek

Imagining Canada in painting 🇨🇦 Openingsweekend of the show 'the Magnetic North' @kunsthal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
101 years old is this painting by Lawren Harris named Beaver Swamp. It's partly figurative and partly abstract. The colours are still bright, it almost gives light. The openings of this exhibition couldn't been better timed: this week's travel advice to Canada changed to: 🟨 @GoCanada.nl 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The late artist @eriksuidman has a solo exhibition

The late artist @eriksuidman has a solo exhibition @kunstrai where You can be part of this work. It was fun to participate only to discover later the title: The Suffering of Humanity. Oops🙃

The Dutch painter Erik Suidman captured the beauty of the human face showing emotions. His models are often prey to despair, either screaming in agony or resigned to passivity. Desperate housewives, weeping orphans, bloodstained butchers and splattered urinals thrive in a carnival of vivid brushwork. It was made in 2015. The painting of the nurse seems so relevant now 😷

Kunstrai is open today until 6, final day

When Lisette stayed in the monumental building #unitedhabitation from #lecorbusier in Marseille, she was inspired by the fading colours on the brutalistic concrete walls. Nice to meet minds alike #loveblue

BIG ART & meeting the lovely @tyna_adebowale

Her work shows to me so many layers of a mature artist. Are these the genderfluid personages or queer activism that attracts?Or is it her powerfull #flatdesign with zillions of hours of hard work in illustrating her friends, or like this one, herself :) Good vibes

Tomorrow is the final day to visit EJIMA! Stories of fragmentation by @Tyna_Adebowale @park_tilburg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💢 Zero to clean in 3 seconds

Is this elephant heavy, I asked the attendant, when I was about to photograph this hyperrealistic sculpture. She couldn't tell. Now I know one thing. This built-in vacuum system in Kunsthal Rotterdam is amazing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The elephant 🐘 ‘Nasutamanus’ (I nicknamed it Dyson🪠)by French artist Daniel Firman floats in space, defying the rules of gravity @daniel_firman_studio 'The Circus as a Parallel Universe's exhibition'⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Meet the artist @daniel.j.mullen!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently @wikaatje @artwaus and I where invited by @marian_cramer to visit the studio in Rotterdam of Daniel Mullen

Having seen his works many times I was thrilled to see him at work. Precisely painted lines and gradients, it almost looks like a rendering 😇 Only if you come closer you notice the paint on the canvas

His earlier work shows a connection with #Synesthesia where letters and numbers are perceived as colours. This recent work, part of the series 'Shifting Monuments' shows his more artistic approach. To me it looks like an exciting #architecturalpainting 🔜 It's very nice to see his future work in the making where he dares to go one step further with his artistic approach towards 🏳️‍🌈colour and 🛸space!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
