As a dear friend of Bildhalle Gallery my artworks were added as a late contribution to the group show OCEAN. If you have a chance to visit the beautiful gallery Bildhalle in Zurich plan your trip around august 27. There will be a summer reception from 18-21 H.

Returning after the summer holidays, Bildhalle would like to invite you to a summer apéro at our gallery and give all interested visitors who missed the opening at the beginning of summer the opportunity to enjoy our group exhibition OCEAN. We include works by ten artists who explore the motif of the ocean, each with a different aesthetic approach. 

OCEAN / Bildhalle: For thousands of years, people of all civilizations have been intrigued by the ocean and have pictured it in a diversity of artistic forms. The ocean is the source of life on earth and symbolic of the unbounded spectrum of animate being. The infinite movement of these masses of water also symbolizes stability. Conversely, the oceans may also stand for formlessness and chaos and, in the interpretation of dreams, for the collective and personal unconscious.

Finally there was an opportunity to shoot some beach scenes for my Zeeland project. Although the timeframe was short I managed to capture the coast of Walcheren en Zeeuws Vlaanderen in full glory. Long hours of waiting paid off. I am looking forward to show some of these new images in large format prints at the upcoming artfairs. Have a look, and I hope you will still be able to find some detail.

Together with Hazazah and DAWN we made a new Campaign for ‘Gazelle bikes’ Where we were free to focus mainly on the environment instead of the bike itself. Almost playing with the codes of automotive advertising. The bicycle is present in the image, but nog visible in detail.

Nothing rides like a Gazelle. And with that, a new world opens up. A world of new mobility, in which the bicycle is a real alternative to the car. A world in which that choice is no longer something for the happy few, but for the happy many. Because a Gazelle is literally and figuratively built for life.
