EXHIBITIONS 2027
SONJA RIJBOSCH
Paintings
29 jan – 04 feb. 2027
OPENING on Saturday from 16:00h
Sonja Rijsbosch makes paintings that move — in color, in texture, and in feeling. Inspired by nature and guided by intuition, she works in layers — using acrylic paint and mixed materials to build up expressive, large-scale pieces.
“What I like about abstract art is that it gives you the freedom to see what you feel,” Sonja says. “You can give your own meaning to a piece of work. That makes each viewer’s experience unique. I hope to bring together positive energy, surprise and vibrancy in the work I create.”
Alongside her personal work, Sonja also creates commissioned paintings that grow from someone’s story or atmosphere into something unique and personal.
SIGRID LOUISE
Paintings
16 – 22 April 2027
OPENING on Saturday from 16:00h
Sigrid Louise (Haarlem) is an abstract artist whose work reflects a deep sensitivity to the world around her. Before dedicating herself to painting, she spent many years working in environments where care and responsibility were central. Her time in the military, with NGOs, and within human rights organizations made her realize what truly matters in life: an eye for the small, the beautiful, and an eye for one another. A strong desire to help and to make a difference in the world has always guided her path.
In a world built on structure, rules, and efficiency, she now chooses to work intuitively and without a fixed plan. To contribute in a different way and to bring a sense of calm. Where others stay within the lines, she seeks freedom and lets go of control. Inspired by the colors of the sky, the land, and the earth, she brings vibrant artworks with bold contrasts and rich textures to life.
JANE CHIN-A-FO
Photography
21 – 28 may. 2027
OPENING on Saturday from 17:00h
I am Jane Chin-A-Fo, a fine art and documentary photographer based in The Hague. My work focuses on revealing the beauty of the everyday: subtle moments and details that often go unnoticed, yet create a powerful sense of connection. Through my contemporary photography, I explore how images shape the way we look, feel, and experience the world. I believe that art is not only meant to be seen—it is meant to be felt. This is why I present my work through photography exhibitions and carefully curated fine art photography books. Positioned at the intersection of art and documentary photography, my practice embraces both the possibilities and limitations of the medium. The result is fine art photography that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and engage more deeply with the image.
HARLEY WEIGLE Ceramics
04 – 10 June, 2027
Opening on Saturday from 16:00h
Harley Weigle is a ceramic artist, educator, and marketing director whose work navigates the intersection of craft, material, and contemporary culture. He serves as an Adjunct Professor of Ceramics at Shippensburg University, where he teaches both foundational and advanced courses in wheel throwing, handbuilding, and sculptural practice. In addition to his academic role, Weigle is the Marketing Director for Mudtools, a leading innovator in the field of ceramic tool design, where he works to connect craft, design, and education through storytelling and visual communication.
Weigle’s studio practice centers on the exploration of form, surface, and process—balancing utility with aesthetic intention. Rooted in material intelligence and the tradition of functional pottery, his work reflects a continual dialogue between the handmade object and its cultural context. Across his roles as maker, teacher, and creative director, Weigle is dedicated to advancing the conversation around contemporary craft and the evolving identity of the modern ceramic artist.
MAAIKE ANNE MARIA
Paintings
11 -17 June 2027
OPENING on Saturday from 16:00h
Maaike Anne Maria is een hedendaags kunstenaar die kunst maakt voor momenten waarop het leven kantelt.
I create art for moments to shift life.
Haar werk ontstaat niet om te behagen of te verklaren, maar om iets te markeren. Een overgang, een breuk een nieuw begin. In haar schilderijen beweegt ze tussen figuratie en abstractie, tussen controle en loslaten. Wat blijft, is de intensiteit, het is stilte met spanning. Beelden die niet vragen om begrip, maar om aanwezigheid.
Ze werkt met warme, aardse kleuren en krachtige contrasten. De vormentaal is intuïtief en gelaagd. Haar schilderijen zijn geen decoratie, maar plekken. Het zijn ankerpunten in een ruimte. Werken die iets vasthouden op momenten dat het leven verschuift; bij verlies, bij groei, bij thuiskomen of bij het opnieuw kiezen.
In de afgelopen jaren verschoof haar werk van realistische portretten naar een steeds vrijere, abstractere stijl. Geen strategische keuze, maar omdat dit zo mocht zijn. Het werk vroeg om meer ruimte, meer eerlijkheid en meer lef. Die beweging loopt parallel aan haar eigen leven: van aanpassen naar innemen, van terughouden naar zichtbaar zijn.

EXHIBITIONS 2028
HANS CORDFUNKE
Paintings
05 – 11 may 2028
OPENING on Saturday from 16:00h
My work is a direct expression of my inner world – a flow of emotion, strength, and energy. Each painting emerges from a deeply personal experience in which love, vulnerability, connection, and power come together.
The common thread in my work is energy – a positive, flowing energy that finds its way from my feelings and emotions onto the canvas. That energy is tangible in the movement, texture, and color contrasts. It is therefore not only visible but also palpable. My paintings are moments of transformation, in which I turn my emotions into visual strength.My work arises entirely from feeling. Without a predetermined plan, I allow colors, shapes, and movements to find their own path on the canvas. Each painting is a snapshot of my inner world – a direct translation of energy, emotion, and intuition.
What characterizes my art is the power and vibrancy it radiates. Contrasting colors and dynamic patterns ensure that you discover something new every time. These are works that continue to surprise, yet are meant to touch you. They invite an open gaze and an emotional connection.
My paintings are not stories with a beginning and an end, but rather visual experiences that keep moving… just like life itself.
I hope my art invites you to feel, to pause, to marvel, but also to connect. It is an invitation to experience the energy I have poured into it – and perhaps even to take that energy with you into your own life.
