Spring is Here!

Amsterdam From April 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023

Presentation

Suddenly the sky is bluer, streets get busier and days longer. Trees are green and insects happy. Premature summer dresses by the canal while swans swim in family towards the child that dares to share their sandwich. It hails and it rains. Winter jacket still on the hanger and umbrellas are sometimes defeated by the last few windy days. Extremes getting too close to each other. This can only mean one thing in The Netherlands: Spring is here!

Spring is usually closely related to the joyful time of the year, full of colours and days under the sun. However, the changing of the seasons is not always easy for many people, filling them with melancholy and quiet days. This is why Villa del Arte Galleries Amsterdam aims to put together an exhibition that can enclose both feelings, creating the beautiful paradox that is Spring.

Kerry Horne's artworks appeal those days under the sun, busier days in the city and spontaneous lazy naps. The artist plays with joyful colour combinations and paint layers of different density, creating a composition that invites the viewer to play too: what are we looking at? Which feelings does it evoke?

One could say that Mari Ito's artworks are the ones that best represent the paradox of the season. In her harmonious and fun compositions, she addresses every-day situations where we can go from showing our most smily face, to the exploration of our darkest side. Spring is perhaps the time to embrace and celebrate both with joy, as Mari Ito demonstrates.

Maria Paola Coda's exaggerated multi layering of intensely coloured acrylics acts as a poetic emotional channel, each layer of matter represents an experience, a mood, a time and a place, which then come together to create balance. Finally the emotional stability that comes after the ups and downs of the Spring.
