PAINT BECOMES BIRD

This autumn, the Kunsthal will be presenting drawings, paintings and sculptures by Arie Schippers (1952), one of the most versatile Dutch artists of the last decades.

The exhibition ‘Paint Becomes Bird' is an ode to imagination, from which Arie Schippers creates his majestic and intimate works. These range from imaginary portraits in clay to painted figures, and from contemporary landscapes in pencil to poetic animal fables in watercolours. In 1997, the Kunsthal also exhibited a series of paintings by Arie Schippers, ‘Nocturnes', depicting modern cities at night.
