The exhibition YOU WANT IT DARKER at Yellow Gallery reexamines the legacy of Floris Verster (1861–1927), a Dutch painter celebrated for his richly tonal and often somber floral still lifes. Verster’s work bridges traditional Dutch art and emerging expressive styles around the turn of the century, exploring themes of light, darkness, and transience. The show places his atmospheric paintings in dialogue with contemporary artists like Anne van As, Ronald Zuurmond, Tosja van Lieshout, Sara van Vliet and Marika Reuten, who deepen the exploration of darkness and decay in nature through various media and approaches. By weaving together historical and modern perspectives, YOU WANT IT DARKER highlights the enduring power of still life to evoke emotion and mystery, inviting viewers to look beyond surface beauty into the fragile, often haunting layers beneath.
