In the center of the Netherlands, Art Villa Gooi Gallery recently opened its doors in Hilversum. The new, exclusive art gallery is located in a monumental and elegant office villa from 1903, and mainly represents Dutch contemporary artists. The first exhibition Winter Extravaganza shows a wide and colorful selection of photography, paintings, sculptures, wall works, costume objects and glass art, until 25 February 2024.
Dutch Fine Art photographer Gert Kist (Amsterdam, 1963) is the initiator and gallery owner of Art Villa Gooi. He also presents his own artworks in the gallery. With a great passion for creativity, and a keen eye for detail and aesthetics, the visual artist creates intriguing and painterly portraits, flower still lifes, and ‘New Classics’. The photographer is writing with light. His layered and autonomous work is internationally included in many private art collections.
With the opening, the Gooi area in the Netherlands has gained a stylish and distinctive art gallery. Art Villa Gooi is centrally located at Vaartweg 168 in the media and architecture city of Hilversum. The large, modern and multifunctional exhibition space provides an inspiring and attractive decor for the presentation of contemporary art, and the organization of cultural events. It is a location where art comes to life.
The exhibition ‘Winter Extravaganza’ presents recent works of ten established artists: Gert Kist (photography), Samira el Bali (abstract paintings), Magda Meijer (ceramic statues), Petra Dorst (bronze sculptures), Joris Verdonkschot (bronze sculptures), Lothar Vigelandzoon (bronze sculptures), Marlies Geldof (mixed media objects), Carina Wagenaar (medallions), Rien Bekkers (costume objects), and Fons Uytdehaag (glass art).
