Galerie Maurits van de Laar closes the year 2024 with the group exhibition Crowd. The exhibition offers an overview of the gallery’s artists and insight into the current developments in their work. Karin van Dam, Martin Fenne, Fransje Killaars and Elsbeth Ciesluk show textile works: a black ornamental shape with light embroidery, fungi made up of satin strips, hand-block printed fabrics and shawls and hand-woven fabrics. Among the painters, Andrea Freckmann shows a new work from the series Die Welt von gestern (Yesterday’s world), Erik Pape a radical monochrome panel with asters and Ronald Versloot a mysterious pond with emerging life under the watersurface.
Elmar Trenkwalder shows a man-sized white ceramic column crowned with a jester, Dirk Zoete Small Blue, one of his geometric metal figures with a sculpted head. Nour-Eddine Jarram shows watercolours from his migrants and refugees series as a preview of his solo exhibition that starts on January 5 in the gallery. Susanna Inglada shows a collage drawing with arms and hands holding a ribbon but also a gun. Cedric ter Bals has five drawings with swirling ribbon, Diederik Gerlach shows a work on paper from his new series with acrylic ink of composite figures.
Dan Zhu has two small intimate works on paper on display of a skeleton between spreading twigs, rabbits in the light of a full moon, Paul van der Eerden and Romy Muijrers show two collaborative drawings from their animal series that was on sow in Kunsthal Kade last year. Marcel van Eeden shows a large charcoal drawing on canvas about a fictional theft of a Rembrandt and Ruysdael painting form the Rijksmuseum.
