During the first two weeks of April 2011 the annual exposition Beeldend Veenendaal was held, making this year the 15th edition of the event. With this exposition the art platform of Veenendaal provides local artists with an opportunity to exhibit their work. This year I was one of the participants in the exposition, all artists we’re allowed to submit one artwork and I created and submitted this surreal and abstract piece.
I had this artwork printed on A1 format (60x85cm) and pasted on 5mm of foam. Seeing my work on such a format and amidst the work of 112 other artists was incredible. The exposition was a big success and it provided me with the opportunity to meet many other artists from my former hometown. This was the first time that my work was showcased in an exposition and that made it all very exciting for me.
I’ve written more about this artwork, the story behind it and the event on my blog, so if you’d like: read my blog post about all of that (it also contains some more photographs).
As I often do, I posted some tweets regarding my work prior to its release. Those messages were picked up by the editors of the Dutch Advanced Photoshop magazine which resulted in a mailbox feature posted in their April issue. Read more about that fantastic little feature.
