Outsider Art Gallery
After Van Genk
12/12/2019 – 23/02/2020
Willem van Genk, the Netherlands’ most famous outsider
artist, shared many fascinations with other outsider artists: transport by
land, water and air, and the bustle of city life. These are visualized
in drawings, paintings and sculptures in this exhibition.
The waste material artworks, inspired by Van Genk’s iconic trolleybuses, were
created during workshops organized by Outsider Art Studios, Ateliers de
Wijde Doelen, and Kunstwerkplaats Kijkoor.
Participating artists: Lionel Plak, Jacco Kranendonk, Georgina Ruhl, Ron
Oosterbroek, Bob van Buuren, Jefke Dijkstra, Hans Ploos van Amstel and
others.
Outsider Art Gallery
In the Outsider Art
Gallery changing exhibitions of well-known and less known outsiders from the
Netherlands and abroad take place. You will find paintings, drawings, prints, ceramic
statues, sculpture, collages, photos and textile art. All works are for sale,
the entrance to the gallery is free.
The Outsider
Art Gallery is founded in 2016 by Cordaan care organisation in cooperation with
the Hermitage Museum Amsterdam and Museum het Dolhuys
Haarlem.
The art in the Outsider Art Gallery is often unconventional. Most the artists have an intellectual or mental disability. They are not concerned with commercial targets and their works do not reflect current trends in art. The art comes bubbling up from within – it is in their minds and just needs to come out. Their work is fascinating, versatile and very pure. The Outsider Art Gallery offers a fully-fledged art platform for these colourful artists, not inside the walls of a care organisation, but rather in an inspiring museum environment.
Outsider Art Studios
Currently a group of 15 artists is at work in the Outsider Art Studios, located above the gallery. They are accompanied by professional artists and pedagogical employees and work on their own art: painting, drawing, print making and digital media. In the studios companies or groups of individuals can also attend art workshops led by an outsider artist.Outsider Art Lease
