Duo exhibition by Maria Hees and Eric de Nie

Artist list

Maria Hees, Eric de Nie

Maria Hees always investigates new materials for her designs, of which she explores the features and capabilities,
eventually to arrive at a unique and new application. The material and inspiration for these necklaces is laboratory glass. This is strong  glass: by the components, and by the convex shape in which it is blown. In realizing these jewellery designs she uses the skill of a master glassmaker in Bohemia. The clear transparent shapes created thereby receive their final appearance by Maria, she herself finishes them by sandblasting.

Eric de Nie presents a selection of paintings and watercolors in various sizes from the period from 1998 to present.
The painting of Eric de Nie is playful and at the same time an emotional battle between free-flowing paint. Occasionally cloth or paper horizontally or vertically tilting, follows the artist with sensitive eyes and smooth hand colorful traces of paint lines, drops and wiped strips. The coincidence steering, resulting in a series of rhythmic relationships between color, line level and space: a new pictorial image both practical as poetic.
