Aldo van den Broek - VACUUM


  • Gallery Vriend van Bavink Geldersekade 34 Amsterdam Nederland (map)

We are pleased to present the solo exhibition "VACUUM" by Aldo van den Broek. In this exhibition, the Artist presents a striking number of large-scale male portraiture, as well as multiple still lives, sculptures, and fragments of the everyday. His monochromatic color palette creates a timeless appearance. In contrast, the rough touch of his brush and use of found materials reflects our fast past society. Juxtaposing these qualities enables a symbiotic tension that draws us between the past and the present—at the same time, enriching us with the image of our vulnerability within the ordinary.

Aldo van den Broek's Unconventional travels functioned as the catalyst of his practice's characteristics, which once formed the start of his career and signified his aesthetic, gaze, and working method. This time he will merge into the Sovjet brutalism of Moldavia's metropolis, enabling him to finalize his show vacuum. Once again, submerging into the maladaptive.
