Klei, Steen & Hout

For our first exhibition of 2021, we bring you a wonderful collection by three artists who used material from Curaçao’s very own soil for their artwork. We present Rien te Hennepe with Stone, Angel Luis de la Rosa with Wood and Marjon Wegman with Clay. Sometimes we forget the richness of the nature around us and what it can offer us.

The most necessary repairs were done and for example, we never painted the ceiling.

Op Curaçao wordt helaas teveel gekapt. Grote bomen moeten soms het veld ruimen voor nieuwbouw. Gelukkig zijn er mensen als Hugo Sjak-Shie die grote liefde heeft voor alle mooie houtsoorten die op het eiland te vinden zijn.
