DNB: Shanna Ingram Papademos - Painted Poems - 1 March - 2 April 2010
From 1 March to 2 April 2010, the art committee of De Nederlandsche Bank will be showing a number of colourful works from the rich collection of Shanna Ingram Papademos. Her multicultural background gives her work a cosmopolitan and eclectic character. During her studies in the United States, she became familiar with Abstract Expressionism and its pioneers. Her early works show a canonical déréglement of abstract expressionist painting, but over time she has created her own, distinctively personal style. A recurring motif is the quadrangular structure, which she repeatedly uses as a starting point for her paintings. They function almost as limits set to rule instinct and emotion, but unable to achieve an equilibrium.
Exhibition to be visited at Westeinde 1, Amsterdam. From 1 March to 2 April 2010 on Thursdays and Fridays, by appointment only. Telephone: +31 20 524 2183. An official proof of identity is required.

The Museum of Modern Ar t in New York has recently purchased new work by Voerman, as have the Generali Foundation and the Deutsche Bank.
