SIDNEY WAERTS
Het Ambassade Hotel en curator Chinny Bond nodigen u uit voor “FALL”, een tentoonstelling met unieke kunstwerken van Sidney Waerts (SIT). "The work of Dutch artist SIT is inevitably characterized by a feeling of discomfort: his paintings and sculptures show the moment when beauty loses its raison d’être, and presents its darkest side. Behind his figurative images lies a disturbing analysis of our times. SIT demonstrates artificial characters, human beings and animals that remind us of the banality of everyday life, of our obsession with appearance, look and materia-lism. These characters are the victims of our visual and fast society, the technology of the visible – where human vanity stands in the way of a truly ethical life. By using black and white, SIT creates sober and melancholic images, as if man – while endlessly believing in progression – has lost something on the way. But on the other hand he displays a maximum of effects: the rough textures and fast strokes look dramatic and seductive, the settings are theatrical and grotesque. This ambiguity – between the temptation of beauty and our constant urge to abuse her – is the driving force behind SIT’s work."

HYLAND MATHER
The Ambassade Hotel and art gallery curator Chinny Bond invite you to “IN THE DISTANCE”, an exhibition of works by Hyland Mather.
“Primarily in my work I’m interested in balance. Aesthetic balance, conceptual balance, physical balance. Like many other artists I have several ongoing bodies of work. I am an assemblage artist working on my ‘Lost Object’ and ‘Modus Volito’ series of sculptures and installations created from reclaimed or ‘lost’ materials.”
– Hyland Mather
9 April – 30 April ’22
EUGÈNE BRANDS
The Ambassade Hotel and Eugénie Brands invite you for the exhibition of a large selection of gouaches by Eugène Brands.
“A painting has to come into being. I don’t create it. I am an antenna. The form is not predetermined or contemplated. I begin by painting thin areas of color or observing what is happening with the paint and then I act on that. The creation of a painting is an almost autonomous event. It requires a medium. That is the painter.”
– Eugène Brands
