The exhibition Ver & Nabij – gebroeders Van Lymborch x hedendaagse kunstenaars (Far & Near) opens today at the Stevenskerk in Nijmegen.
Ver & Nabij explores the connections between the impressive late medieval paintings of the three Van Lymborch brothers and the work of leading contemporary artists. By placing historical and contemporary art side by side, the exhibition adds a new and dynamic perspective to the world-famous oeuvre of Herman, Paul and Johan van Lymborch.
The dialogue is created through a wide range of media, including contemporary painting, sculpture, installation and textile art, as well as photography, video, animation, fashion, and jewellery.
In addition to several existing works, I was commissioned to create a new piece especially for this exhibition. For this work, I drew inspiration from the Van Lymborch brothers’ Ontmoeting der Wijzen from the Très Riches Heures.
The exhibition runs until 6 April. For more information and tickets, click here!
