Poetic art-trash in Richter

This exhibition is the result of the complementary work of Ellen Gieles and Helena Kersten, they are artist coming from Belgium.

The work of Ellen Gieles is inspired by our consumption-throwing society. She collects a lot of garbage or left behind by nature. She gives to the trash a new, often poetic, live.Helena Kersten makes drawings and stripping tales about her point of vieuw on the world, it’s often humoristic and strange. She knows how to take you to her own world; she transforms things and let you enjoy her own “moving” world.

We invite you gladly to attends this new captivating exhibition. This will be on the 25th of April at 16:00 in presence of the artists and the exhibition wil be open by an French noisy-trashy performer Steve Hurring-Laddi.

The werkatelier is open en Wednesday, Thusday, Friday and Saturday fron 12:00 till 17:30.

You can find the Werkatelier on the ‘t Juttersplein 2 Den Helder.

Two young artists, Wayan Putarna en Djawi, from the Sun kissed island of Bali.  

Djawi has made his name in both Indonesia as well as outside of it and with his ‘own’ abstract/ figurative style his work is appreciated worldwide. Reoccurring themes are ‘the city’, ‘happiness’ and ‘estrangement’. With his use of space and the use of many colours and reoccurring symbols he makes sure that there is and remains a lot to discover.

Wayan Purnata studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Denpasar (Bali) in 1997 and he has found himself completely connected with the abstract style. He is inspired by dreams, imagination and mundane situations and has developed an amazing way of using light and movement within his work. He has exhibited his work amongst others in: Paris, Strasbourg, Nice, Montreal and Singapore. At the opening both artists shall be represented by Arjen Vonk “ambassador of the “Lion king foundation” to which the total proceeds will be donated.

This year The Vrolijkheid celebrates it’s 10th anniversary and will mark this occasion with a retrospective exhibition at the Richter foundations Werkatelier.

Our full title is the National foundation for the encouragement of Cheerfulness. In short : de Vrolijkheid (The Cheerfulness). We pay extra atention to children and youths staying in asylum seeking centers. One in three refugees coming to The Netherlands is younger than eighteen. These Young refugees originate from countries where violence and repression are part of daily life. They have experienced horrible things and had to leave their life and home behind. Their future and status in the Netherlands often remains uncertain for years

For these children and youths de Vrolijkheid together with the residents of the AZC (Asylum seekers centre )organises creative activities. Art is the instrument that we give them because often dance , theatre , music and contemporary art are means to express themselves and tell their story , to develop self confidence and talent or to just be a child.     
                                              

De vrolijkheid has been active in Den Helder now for 7 years. Permanent coordinator Natasja Buis together with her team of volunteers has developed a special retrospective exhibition about  7 years of the vrolijkheid in Den Helder. The Driving force behind the team is that we invest in the children who are staying at the AZC. We for example organize activities making it possible for the children to express themselves ,they are able to play and discover their talents. We let them tell stories , create theatre and let them paint. We give master classes in dance and theatre  … it is a broad scale of activities. De vrolijkheid brings vrolijkheid(cheerfulness) to help the children of the AZC deal with their experiences within a relaxed and open atmosphere.

All these elements are reflected in a sometimes moving, inspiring and humble but always cheerfull exhibit. Employees and children from the AZC cordially invite you to join us at the opening of this exhibit on Friday the 28^th of November at 17.00 hours in the presence of some of the children at the Richter werkatelier.

The artist met each other in Brabant, studied in TeHaTex and in the Academie for Arts in Tilburg where there careers independently from each other has been further developed. They will now meet each other again in the Werkatelier Richter.

“I Fly” found itself in the circumstance that it couldn’t be open, both in supplying positive and of negative information. But the artists mean it good. But being good means not always that you get rewarded. Despite the fact that the artists are taking care of the humility, it doesn’t means that this humanity understands or accept the message. All above this; the destiny plays an important role.

We can insure one thing: There is something to see in the Werkatelier Richter. Absolutely. The ways in which you watch determine yourself. Are you ready? Or you prefer ready it in the newspaper?

Richter werkatelier proudly present the work of the Macedonian photographer and artist Atanas Tavelski.

The opening of this exposition will be hold on Saturday 8 of March at 16.00 hours. Subjects in Tavelski photo’s seems maybe simple, however the pictures are not manipulated, they are just real life coincident. And once you get in touch with his work you become like a magnet, you get attracted and also there is a distance. The image from Atanas Tavelski (1954) intrigue the viewer. It shows the coincidental hard side of life, with a critical look, with a necessary humor and self reflection. Because of the bright lightening his work looks so in a lifelike way. But the truth is different. The viewer can feel it and that’s what the artist want.

The Richter foundation invites you to come to the opening of the exhibition “Zoom in hands” on the 19^th of January.

Exposé Ioanna Bohalteanu, born in Brasov (Romania) tries to reveal the essence of existence with this exhibition and translates this in an often very intense way to contemporary images.

The goal is to make visitors apart of the actuality and the beauty that can be discovered within her objects and to absorb them, but at the same time it also offers a continuous search for deeper undiscovered layers.

The exhibition consists of a light installation and works on canvas. For Ioanna Bohalteanu light is the foundation of our existence and a very important source of inspiration.

As well as these works of art she also shows several works in which communication between people is a central theme. the hand is the symbolic connection of our existence and a direct link with the dialogue. Have we peeked your interest than you are more than welcome on January the 19^th at 15.30 hours at the opening of the exhibition.

Atelier in action by Richter is located at the juttersplein 2 in Den Helder. Opening hours are Wednesday till Saturday from 12.00 till 17.30 hours.
