With the exhibition ‘Spring in Autumn’, Wencke highlights the transformations in nature that become increasingly noticeable throughout the seasons. It creates various feelings of confusion, but also resourcefulness, resilience, and awe for all that nature brings and gives us. Her paintings show the human figure in relation to nature during this special time.

For his works, Roeland Kneepkens likes to have genuine contact with the models he paints. They are family members, friends, and acquaintances of his, but also strangers. In that contact, Roeland observes and marvels: why do people come together, what clothes do they wear, how do they have fun, and what do they share with each other. This fascination with people and their actions is clearly reflected in his paintings. A large part of his work is about friendships. We see people in all kinds of situations. Laughing, talking, toasting, enjoying good food, or playing chess or poker.
On Sunday, June 9th at 3:00 PM, the long-awaited exhibition of the renowned painter Brita Seifert will open in her own studio, located at Aijenseweg 16b, 5854PT Aijen, municipality of Bergen L. The opening will be hosted by gallery owner Rene de Vreugd from Spain. Rene de Vreugd has a rich history in the art world, with Galerie de Vreugd en Hendriks.
Brita Seifert, originally from Germany, settled in the Netherlands in 2008, where she quickly gained attention for her extraordinary talent for drawing and painting. Roel van der Veen of Galerie Pictura discovered her potential, and since then she has gathered a large following of admirers, both among fellow artists and collectors. Her mastery of materials and her unique technique
have amazed many a spectator. In 2019, Brita Seifert and Roel van der Veen even got married.
Since 2013, Brita Seifert has been running her own drawing and painting school, for which the interest is so great that there is now a waiting list. She finds her inspiration in both the present and the past, from her personal experiences and travels, but also from music and various other sources of creativity. She translates these inspirations into her drawings and paintings with a master’s hand.
Her works are a reflection of desires, the wish to transform stories into something beautiful that viewers can enjoy. Sometimes her creations take the viewer to deeper thoughts, surreal worlds, or even macabre scenarios. Seifert’s art is a balance between feeling and reality, which is more than just visual representation; it is an experience you want to feel and a story you want to tell.
No fewer than three Masters of Realism have reached the final of the MiniArtures 2024 competition: Joke Frima, Rob de Lange and Francien Krieg. Congratulations!

Everyone is welcome! |
A painting, submitted for assessment at the Museum of Fake Art, turns out to be a genuine Jan Sluijters. A couple from Ruinerwold inquired two years ago whether a painting that had been in their family for years could be authentic. After thorough investigation and extensive cleaning, an expert has now attributed the painting to Jan Sluijters.
