Looking forward to…’ at N-W
Gillian Bolton
September 6 – November 1, 2025
Painter Gillian Bolton, based in The Hague and a 2024 graduate of the Royal Academy of Art, explores rhythm, balance, and the dialogue between structure and emotion. Built from geometric forms yet never distant, the works reveal shifting surfaces and subtle color play that create a quiet intensity. Layers applied with precision invite a slower, more attentive way of looking. Bolton’s practice seeks moments of stillness where clarity and vulnerability converge.
Hara Athanasopoulou
September 6 – November 1, 2025
Royal Academy of Art (KABK) graduate and Jan Roede Prize 2024 winner Hara Athanasopoulou combines the patience and precision of craftsmanship with a curiosity that uncovers underlying stories. Her research into textile production engages with both the material complexity of fabrics and the historical role of women in their design and making. Inspired by her grandmothers in Greece, who first introduced her to needlework, Athanasopoulou explores the intertwined histories of textile practice and women’s cultural significance.
Lennart Heiner
September 6 – November 1, 2025
Lennart Heiner challenges conventional definitions of art and its production. Rather than building towards a single major work, he develops ideas through small, quickly materialized pieces that together form a subjective encyclopedia of the world. When installed collectively, these works create juxtapositions and associations in the spaces between, without prescribing a fixed narrative. Gentle humor and childlike simplicity invite viewers to set aside intellectualization and engage with the work in an immediate, experiential way—much like listening to music.
