Raider 2023

RAIDER | First Contact
11 may – 26 aug

Wanrooij Gallery in Amsterdam presents the first solo exhibition by the 21-year-old Dutch creator RAIDER from 11 May until 26 August 2023. The exhibition First Contact shows a wide and colourful selection of sculptures, silkscreen prints, digital artworks, neon designs, and wall objects. RAIDER transforms the two floors of the gallery into an exciting art experience, introducing the character Scoop.

RAIDER represents a new, young generation of contemporary artists. With a great passion for art, his iconic sculptures of the fictional character Scoop have gained attention from gallery owners and art collectors around the world since 2020. The creator experiments with all available techniques and materials in a traditional way.

The new and sparkling work of RAIDER has its own unique signature. It is fresh, pure, and colourful. For the design of figure Scoop, spheres are used as primal elements, referring to the science of discovering extraterrestrial life forms. The storyteller draws inspiration from film, animation, music, and travel.  

Scoop is from another planet and is now discovering our world and its inhabitants. Scoop is friendly, curious, and reflects on human behaviour with a childlike innocence. The Scoop sculptures are made of resin, and are available as Limited Editions in a variety of colours and sizes, from small (10 cm) to monumental (180 cm). Bronze is also used by the creator. Each sculpture is completely handcrafted and painted.

RAIDER (2002) lives and works in Amsterdam. He studied Creative Design in Utrecht. The creator’s autonomous work has been presented at art fairs such as Art Miami, Art Karlsruhe, KunstRAI in Amsterdam, and Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam, London, and New York. After a pop-up store presentation during the Milan Design Week 2023, his first solo exhibition in the Netherlands is scheduled at Wanrooij Gallery.

Evolution – Christian Voigt

WANROOIJ GALLERIJ
Christian Voigt
June 6th – August 24th 2019

EVOLUTION

Wanrooij Gallery in Amsterdam presents from 6 June until 24 August 2019 an exhibition of German photographer Christian Voigt. For his new series Evolution the fine art photographer has portrayed prehistoric skeletons against a black backdrop. Huge dinosaurs, three-dimensional, almost alive. Fantasy fiction becomes reality. The gallery shows an intriguing selection of large-format photographs.

Christian Voigt has received international recognition for his monumental, hyper-realistic landscape and architectural photography, in particular interiors of museums and libraries. His life motive is the search for beauty, underpinned by perfectionism. With Evolution, the artist has radically expanded both his visual vocabulary and his portfolio of photographic techniques. The idea for the new series came to him in 2017 when he was photographing the immense skeleton of a blue whale hanging in the Natural History Museum in London.

The artist wants his Evolution series to be regarded more as objects than as images, captured under almost laboratory-like conditions. The authentic photographs of dinosaurs have been taken with large-format analogue cameras in natural history museums in Berlin, Denkendorf, Frankfurt am Main and London. Specially conceived frames are integral parts of the very detailed pictures of delicate skeletons, with hyper-ideal lighting and uncannily crisp contours of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus and Triceratops Duo.

Christian Voigt (Munich, 1961) lives in Hamburg and the south of France. He was born into a family of publishers and photographers. Voigt is one of Germany’s most successful photographic artists. The iconic, autonomous work of the artist has been presented at more than 100 exhibitions in mainly Europe and the USA. His panoramic, strictly limited edition pictures are in demand amongst private collectors worldwide.

MARTIN C. HERBST

15.11.2015 – 31.03.2016

Showing in Amsterdam´s Wanrooij Gallery, situated right next to the famous Rijksmuseum with all its masterpieces, is like coming home to old friends.
Like many young painters – and especially those with a keen interest in portrait painting – I literally grew up with my heroes Rembrandt and Vermeer. Austria’s most important museum for Old Masters, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, shows two brilliant self-portraits by Rembrandt and Vermeer’s “The Art of Painting” as well as a large number of excellent works by Rubens and van Dyck.
At the age of 17 I had my first chance to come to Amsterdam and visit the Rijksmuseum. By that time, however, I had already been studying the beloved Dutch and Flemish Masters in depth for almost four years.[showhide type="more1" more_text="Read More (%s More Words)" less_text="Read Less (%s More Words)"]Not only the Dutch title of my show “Martijn van Wenen” (“Martin from Vienna”) is an homage to Rembrandt van Rijn or Vermeer van Delft and to Netherlandish painting in general: the whole collection of works I am showing in Amsterdam is likewise a tribute.
“Martijn van Wenen” demonstrates my close ties to the rich history of Dutch and Flemish painting, and also how I put these into practice. Some of the works are inspired directly by a specific historic painting. Here it is easy for everyone to see and understand the reference at once, and to enjoy the reinterpretation. And yet the majority of the works in this show represent more an elaborate re-evaluation of art historical themes and theories. Thus it is crucial to provide at least a sketchy explanation of the connections and ideas behind them.[/showhide]
