Contour Gallery is pleased to announce its first exhibition in Amsterdam featuring photographs by Lars van den Brink. The opening of the show: 'Here lives the day' will be at the new location in the heart of Amsterdam, where Contour Gallery will bring Rotterdam bravado to the capital.
A great location on the Keizersgracht has been found with atelier K84. Contour Gallery hosts the premiere exhibition, with powerful photographs by Dutch photographer Lars van den Brink.
On display are the esteemed works from his series: Behind the Day of 2020, and a selection of the much-loved series: Frozen Time, with an emphasis on works of art made in Amsterdam.
This is the second occasion for these works to see the light of day. We will also show the most recent artwork by Lars van den Brink here for the first time. Classic with a twist - an old Dutch winter landscape in the characteristic style of the images from the Frozen Time series.
Behind the Day is the sequel to Lars’s Frozen Time series, in which he first used a technique that brings both day and night into one image. In this new series, he has explored ways to 'paint' with photographic material, to amaze the viewer and lift him out of reality. By letting go of the unity of time and combining different shots, he distances himself from the analytical nature of photography and is able to create images that go beyond mere registration.
A limited and signed edition of only 30 prints is available for purchase for each work.
