“Open House”
On Thursday May 4th Readytex Art Gallery opens her doors for
what is already the 5th Thursday-Night-Feature of this year. After
the large solo exhibition of John Lie A Fo, which had its grand opening on
Thursday the 6th of April, we have scheduled a more relaxed activity for the
TNF of this month. We welcome all of our guests to join us in the gallery for a
special ‘Open House’ evening during which they can enjoy another beautiful
selection of our varied art collection. Noteworthy this month is that the
exhibition on the first floor has been put together by one of our own most
experienced artists Kenneth Flijders, in this case fulfilling the role of guest
curator.
At the last ‘Open House’ exhibition held on the March TNF the curator
task was assigned to artist Rinaldo Klas and it is now the turn of his good
friend and colleague to fulfill this role. The choices made by Kenneth Flijders
are based upon a specific theme. He selected artworks that broadly reflect upon
social circumstances in Suriname as well as in other countries abroad. The
social circumstances portrayed are varied and the way in which each artist
visualizes his or her theme is totally unique. This will undoubtedly result in a
diverse and fascinating presentation.
And while the guest curator took the exhibition on the first floor upon
himself, the team at Readytex Art Gallery took on the responsibility of
switching up the exhibitions in the rest of the gallery.
The ‘Open House’ on the Thursday-Night-Feature of May 4th,
gives art lovers the opportunity to enjoy, in good company, the wonderful
ambiance of the gallery and the special collection of fine art displayed
throughout. The team of Readytex Art Gallery and many of the artists, including
of course Kenneth Flijders, will be present to answer any questions that you
may have about the works of art. The doors of Readytex Art Gallery are open on
this evening from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
Everybody is welcome!

|  |  | Featured artist(s) |  |  |  |  Dhiradj Ramsamoedj In the past paintings by Dhiradj Ramsamoedj were mostly oils on canvas on which the paint was applied with a pallet knife. Now he paints mostly with a brush which results in a smooth, flat finish. The style has become less realistic and the people in his recent work have a completely different appearance. Humans still form the main theme in his work, but the faces of the characters now all have a similar, undefined shape in which the eyes, nose, mouth and other features are only hinted at subtly...

Leonnie van Eert
The artist finds her inspiration in natural
forms, with nature close to home, and in the use of symbols from different
cultures. Uses and forms from the Indigenous, Maroon and Javanese culture in
Suriname are close to the artist who also looks across Africa, Columbia and
Peru. An artwork usually comes from a sketch. The
end result does not have to be the same as the sketch shows.

It is special to make the world from
different perspectives. A blend of cultures that reflects the world from both
the past and the present from all over the world. It is the cultural heritage
we have received from our ancestors and must cherish. That's what I'm trying to
express with my work.
