Where The Bright Things Are - opening
Opening our new gallery space with 'Snar - End of an Era' A stone-throw away from the Heinekenplein, we have a beautiful new 250 m2 space with a studio, three exhibition spaces and an installation room. One exhibition space, with a lounge and books, will show a selection of some of the best work we have in stock and the other two spaces will be used as gallery rooms where we will host specific exhibitions every month! As our opening exhibition we proudly present Snar's 'End of an Era'. Snar's work, which he himself describes as 'graphic-abstract-expressionism' with a dab of street-art, has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States with great success. We have also been very busy the past summer with a new venture, which will kick off at 'Where The Bright Things Are'. Next to transforming walls, with exceptional paintings, photographs and collages, we will also be filling interiors with exceptional pieces! We will exhibit and sell contemporary design pieces as well as antique furniture of high quality. We don't particularly believe in periods and styles, but we do particularly believe in quality, craftsmanship, form, function and above all else: beauty. Next to these pieces we will also launch a new label, which takes old and antique furniture which needs to be restored and let's young designers and artist completely and respectfully transform the pieces into the 21st century!
His work is a fierce mix of colours, abstract form, images (cut out, drawn, painted or stenciled) and scattered lines and fragments of poetry thrown onto the canvas to create colourful images that demand attention and capture the beholders gaze to draw it into Snar's world.
Snar is influenced by painters such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, but also a great deal by the literary beat generation, with Burroughs and Kerouac championing the concept of 'stream of consciousness', which is at the core of his paintings.
