Now on dispay at the nieuwe markt: Stijn Valentijn
About this activity.
In the pop-up window gallery of the Kunstuitleen at the Nieuwe Markt, the work of a different Groningen artist is the focus every three weeks. The pop-up window gallery will close on May 21. Until then, Stijn Valentijn's work can be seen.
"Multidisciplinary artist Stijn Valentijn (Groningen, 1997) his work is mostly intuitive, where the influences of his studies in Fine Art (Academy Minerva) and Biology (RUG) play an important role. 'I work like nature, a product of its time. Evolution without a preconceived plan. In this process, I am fascinated by the link between intuition and association and therein its relation to a universal visual language. It is like diving into the collective past of humankind and of life itself'. Through line and colour, Valentijn creates and researches a world in which everything is welcome. From the smallest organisms to the psychological need for myths and religion. Which makes every day is an adventure full of discoveries, a Darwin of his own world."
Stijn Valentijn's work can be seen in the middle window of the shop window from May 1. The work can also be borrowed or purchased through the Kunstuitleen. Read more about the artwork and the artist here.
About the window gallery
The window of the former Vapiano building on Nieuwe Markt has a temporary role as a pop-up art rental service. In addition to the rotating display of work by a Groningen artist, the window also showcases pieces from Kunstuitleen’s regular art collection and the Studio Collection – art sourced directly from the studios of northern artists – as well as videos of the artists' work processes.
