In 2006, together with Tirzo Martha, he founded the Instituto Buena Bista in Cura\u00e7ao, where young people aged 15 to 24 can develop their artistic talents. With the IBB he organizes projects such as\u00a0All You Can Art<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Lifelong<\/em> in which participation with the local community is central. In his own work he addresses themes like discrimination, social inequality and economic power structures, which he depicts in a bold, sometimes absurdist manner. The humor in the work makes the often charged topics accessible and offers an opening to a positive approach to social issues. In the exhibition David Bade shows a selection of drawings, paintings and some sculptures.<\/p>\nNathan Henderson<\/strong>\u00a0(1978) is an American artist who lives and works in Berlin.\u00a0In his youth he wanted to be a cartoonist, but also developed a fascination for the old masters that he started to copy. Dissatisfied with the result, which he found too pretentious, he decided to combine both. This resulted in virtuoso quotes from artists such as Giotto, Van Eijk and Albrecht D\u00fcrer in which cartoon characters related to Disney, The Simpsons or underground comics appear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]The often large scale drawings are a strange mix of high and low culture, humor and seriousness, past and present. Several works on paper feature a standing naked man, based on the portrait of the 18th century politician Richard Burke by Joshua Reynolds. He seems to be an anachronistic witness who observes our complex society with its overflow of information and images.<\/p>\nSebastiaan Schlicher<\/strong>\u00a0(1974) started a series of drawings in 2022 with the title\u00a0Pink Adrenaline,<\/em> a nickname for the chemical compound Adrenochrome that can induce thinking \u00a0disorders and delusions. The series was created during the lockdowns in the corona pandemic and reflects the feeling of isolation, emotional confusion and powerlessness. The drawings have an overwhelming energy of winding lines in which faces and figures emerge and fictitious diary entries and story fragments wander around. Earlier, Schlicher began experimenting with sound works that produce an unpredictable series of sounds and rhythms. The tangle of transistors, fuses and winding wires has the same energy as the Pink Adrenaline drawings and seems to symbolize the inscrutable algorithms that increasingly dominate our lives. In addition to the drawings, a few of Schlicher’s noise machines can be seen and heard in the exhibition.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Groupshow with David Bade, Nathan Henderson, Sebastiaan Schlicher featuring drawings, paintings, sculptures and noise machines. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1131],"tags":[1184,1185,117],"class_list":["post-26279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibition-2024","tag-david-bade","tag-nathan-henderson","tag-sebastiaan-schlicher-en","category-1131","description-off"],"yoast_head":"\n
