Bright Young Things Alumnus Rachel Nieborg has an exciting solo exhibition coming up at galerie Rademakers at the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam.
The exhibition 'Girls and Guns' is an overview of work in collaboration with Ine Mulder, that was started at the Bright Young Things exhibition 'Dutch Glory'. Former B.Y.T. curator Roderick van der Lee asked Nieborg if she would consider photograqphing a contemporary interpretation of the famed Dutch Stillife for the exhibition, which featured young Dutch talent bringing hommage to the old Dutch master and their cultural heritage. Rachel's natural eye for texture and great talent for mixing and photographing it were the perfect link to these qualities in old master stillifes.
Together with Ine Mulder, Nieborg produced a series of exceptional quality. After being represented by the esteemed Rademakers galerie, Nieborg and Mulder continued their fruitful collaboration and have been making beautiful image after image, appropriating the best of classical stillifes in composition and capturing texture, but adding beautiful dynamic and contemporary grit.
These Gilrs with guns will be going far and we whole heartedly encourage you to go see this exhibition, between 30th may and 13th june at Galerie Rademakers on Prinsengracht570-572, and to buy one of these pieces if you can! Although prices have doubled since our 'Dutch Glory' exhibition, we're sure they'll go up after this serie will sell out, no doubt quickly.
