You’re so welcome!

Galerie Sophie in Den Haag will intensify its programme in the coming year. As a start it will open a group-exhibition under the name You’re so welcome! with artists the gallery worked with before. To broaden their programme they asked participating artists to invite one artist they liked to present work in the same exhibition. The opening will take place during Hoogtij, the two monthly open night of art-spaces in Den Haag.

I was asked to participate after several shows I took part in. I will show two portraits of my Malieveld invites series in oilpaint on stone paper.

About Malieveld Invites

Today I added a Malieveld Invites page to the projects-menu of my site. I started a new series of portraits of people who stand out to me on the walks to the Malieveld, a large public space in Den Haag. I describe them in text on the Malieveld in an e-mail that I send myself. Later I make a painting of them in oilpaint on stone paper. I started the first portrait in 2023 and after apause I restarted the series recently.
