For all you paint lovers


Arti et Amicitiae is actually hosting two shows at the moment. Next to the 'Contemporary Semantics Beta' show, there's also a very different exhibition going on, entitled 'Power to the Paint'. It shows works by the three painters Frank Ammerlaan, Joachim Grommek and Rob van de Werdt. All three work in different ways, but they share a conceptual approach towards the art of painting. 
Ammerlaan likes to struggle with paint, working in many layers and partly scraping them off again. Grommek is more subtile, investigating a variety of monochrome colorfield combinations. And Van de Werdt is cutting open used paint cans, to show what the left-over, dried up paint inside looks like. The show is pretty hardcore.
(Exhibition until March 22, 2009.)
