Exhibition DUNAatelier: About white and colour
Contact
The new exhibition at the DUNAatelier, 'On white and colour' is on display from 8 March to 1 April.
On the ground floor, the works of three very different artists are on display, entitled "About white and colour".
Anneke van de Velde and Ben Raaphorst work together under the name Veldhorst. They make monotone reliefs composed of square blocks of equal size. By playing with various heights, Veldhorst allows patterns to emerge. Because the works are entirely white, light and shadow are given full play. Veldhorst deliberately chose residual material in the abstracts. The blocks were originally medicine boxes from a hospital and dairy cartons. Remarkably, when they got the idea for these, they hardly knew the work of the very famous Jan Schoonhoven.
Trudy Overes makes paintings in mixed media with acrylic and/or oil paint and sometimes uses residual waste. Each painting is a challenge, sometimes abstract, sometimes figurative, but always she can apply one of her techniques.

Colour plays an important role in the works. Her travels to various Asian countries, play a part in this. She also shows kimonos. literally, ki mo no means "things to wear". She makes them not as a garment but as a work of art using patches of silk, cotton, linen, wool. Intriguingly, the kimono, actually a shapeless garment, is modelled by the colour and fabric and the obi ( a wide belt).
The exhibitions are on display from 8 March to Easter Monday in the DUNA studio. Open Fri-Sun 1.30-4.30pm and Easter Monday.
