Alice Cescatti (1962) originally from New Zealand, is based in London. Although she is living in an urban environment, Cescatti has instinctively gravitated towards locations for painting, that combine a sense of wilderness with intense light and color.
Cescatti’s paintings are water gilded in silver leaf on wood panels. They are semi abstract works celebrating light and color enhanced by the backdrop of burnished silver.
Her work describes the great power and energy of our natural environment.
Alice draws the viewer into her paintings with the intention of focusing on the mindfulness of preserving nature in all it’s forms.

By building layer upon layer, Nikkie le Nobel (1959) creates impressions of nature in abstracted spaces. '
The ambiguity of our perception is a reason for me to layer my paintings and drawings.
Both in the use of paint and in the composition of the image.
This way I can investigate both the formal qualities of a painting and the interpretations that arise from the relationship between the different image layers. The shapes arise intuitively, arising from the behavior of the paint, or strictly directed, and looking realistic. The relationship they enter into with each other fascinates me, as does that between the flat surface and the illusion of spaciousness. Often one of the image layers consists of a different material; an embroidered layer or a flocked, velvety layer.

This allows me to create a layer that distinguishes itself from the other layers and gives a feeling of enrichment and intensity to my canvases. My starting point is often shapes from nature. Precisely these forms, by not being loaded with meanings, give me the space to create images to which I can give meaning while painting without wanting to be narrative. The image in the final painting has become removed from reality and touches on something else, on sensory, feelings and suggestion, without wanting to be narrative.'

Graduated from the Art Academy, Tilburg in 1987

Exhibitions throughout the Netherlands, France, and Spain since 1987.

The works of vandeCamp & Heesterbeek start with portrait photography and end with abstraction. Portrait photos are carefully deconstructed and assembled back together again. The intent of the photo or the identity of the person portrayed are no longer relevant, there is only the image. As reversed painters, they take out the irrelevant details of photography to get to the essence of the image. Every once in a while, a fictitious object is added. The identity and form of the person portrayed are remixed. The result are images where the black and the white live their own lives. The original portrayed persons are still recognizable but are now part of a larger whole; albeit stripped to the existential minimum in a balanced composition.
In 2018 Patrica van de Camp and Marc Heesterbeek decided to form an artist duo. They discovered that together they could create Art that neither of them could create separately.
Patricia van de Camp (1969) studied graphic Art and photography at the Rietveld academie in Amsterdam and the Design School SDU Kolding in Denmark.
Marc Heesterbeek (1965) studied architecture and urban planning at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and space architecture at the SICSA in Houston.
The work of vandeCamp & Heesterbeek has found its way into private and corporate collections at home and abroad.

Luc Peters (1950) has positioned himself as an artist who is neither satisfied with nostalgia nor with pure modernity, but rather seeks out and exploits the gap between them.
His images invite us to slow down: we must look, wonder, be ‘timeless.’
They raise questions about time, decay, identity, what remains and what passes.
In the contemporary art world, his work offers a compelling contrast: neither contemporary modern nor traditionally classical.
It is an archaeological imagination – images as they might be after undergoing the ravages of time – or as they might exist when the past and present are intertwined.
In June 2024, Peters was invited to exhibit at the prestigious Salon Des Beaux-Arts in Paris, a platform that has brought together leading international artists for decades.
His contribution was awarded the Bronze Medal, a recognition that underscores the originality
and artistic power of his vision.

1970 – 1975: Art academies in Tilburg and Maastricht. 
Exhibits in galleries and at fairs both domestically and internationally.

Ralf Weber (1972) is a sculptor based in Germany. Fascinated by contrasts, contradictions and tension, Weber is inspired by nature and its materials, usually black granite and white marble.
In his work he searches for the infinite line that envelops a volume like a movement in space.
'My works are sculptural sketches of space. The sculpture has an inner core that is connected to the infinite line.
This inner element is the soul of the block, which escapes my strict form concept.
The movements of the soul of the stone have a finer dynamic and an explicitly contrasting surface structure, the boundaries of which are determined only by the infinite line.
What I really want to show is that the whole thing is an impossible exercise.
The choice of materials is deliberately wrong. These works are about a real uselessness.
I cut and chisel for as long as necessary before the previous structures of the material, and thus the system, as it were, collapse.'

1992 – 1995 stone carving training in the traditional way.
Working as an artist - sculptor, since 1998.
Participation in numerous exhibitions and art fairs at home and abroad.

Anne Rose Regenboog (1958) draws her inspiration from elementary shapes.
In her oeuvre she focuses on experiment and conceptual thinking within a given context.

In her studio, first in Amsterdam and since 2005 in The Hague, small wearable objects were made over a period of 25 years.
A time when, in addition to making work for exhibitions, research and experiment have always been important.

In that time, her oeuvre has found its way into galleries for wearable art objects.
The cube project that Anne Rose has been working on for the past eight years is an investigation into the possibilities within the boundaries of a concept,
in which she constructs sleek cubes of thin steel wires.
The extra lines within the open cubes are like a spatial script based on three-dimensional geometric shapes.
Each sculpture is autonomous, like a drawing in space, but together with the light and the movement of viewing, the cubes form a lively play,
a choreography for the eye.
