Founded in 1999, the last decade has seen Galerie Ron Mandos develop an ambitious exhibition space.

Over 20 years, Galerie Ron Mandos has earned its place of prominence within the Dutch art scene. First opening its doors in Rotterdam in 1999, it has since accrued a roster of over 30 artists from around the globe, becoming an integral nexus-point for artists at all stages of their career. In 2010, the gallery moved to its current location in the Amsterdam gallery district. In its pursuit of new developments within contemporary art and facilitated by its spacious venue, the gallery presents an extensive program within which new and dynamic means of representation are sought.  

The voices of an impressive assembly of established talent such as Daniel Arsham, Hans Op de Beeck, Isaac Julien, Remy Jungerman and Erwin Olaf tell poignant stories and shape the core of our public debate. The gallery’s mission is to platform artworks that embody the sophisticated relationship between artist, artwork, and society. Throughout the gallery’s program, light is shed on the unexpected and previously hidden aspects of everyday experience, taking shape in large scale, immersive installations as well as international group exhibitions.

Work Highlight | Hans Op de Beeck ⁠
⁠
Since his 2009 solo exhibition at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, multidisciplinary artist Hans Op de Beeck has been painting large-scale black and white watercolours of fictional landscapes, interiors, still lifes, and figures, alongside the creation of his major installations, sculptures, and video works.⁠
⁠
These watercolour paintings form a kind of “ongoing picture book” of myriad potential stories. Because he paints these watercolours at night, in solitude, a sense of night, melancholy, mystery, and a latent sense of derailment permeates the works. ⁠
⁠
Stéphanie is a young woman gazing at us, sitting cross-legged on a modernist chair. Who is she? What is her story? Like the fictional landscapes and still lifes, she too transports our imaginations to possible narratives. The work takes inspiration from a sculpture of the same name from 2025.⁠
⁠
This work was presented at The Armory Show, New York 2026. Learn more about Hans Op de Beeck and view other available works via the link in bio 🔗⁠

Work Highlight | Marcos Kueh 🧶⁠
⁠
By filtering religion through the lens of advertising, Marcos Kueh critiques the commodification of faith and identity. His tapestries play with irony, nostalgia, and sincerity, revealing how visual culture can both construct and obscure meaning. Kueh’s work ultimately questions what it means to belong in a world shaped by colonial histories, migration, and global capitalism. ⁠
⁠
Kueh is a textile artist from the Island of Borneo, with a professional background in Graphic Design and Advertising. Many of Kueh’s textile works are explorations and speculations of the traditional meaning of the craft in the contemporary context.⁠

Special Announcement: a new solo exhibition Hlanganani ("Bring together") by Zanele Muholi is opening soon at Galerie Ron Mandos 🖤⁠. ⁠
⁠
Twenty years ago, Zanele Muholi began Faces and Phases, a portrait project born the same year South Africa became the first country in Africa to legalise same-sex marriage. Two decades and hundreds of portraits later, made across five continents, it has become one of the most significant living archives of Black LGBTQIA+ life in the world.⁠
⁠
On 12 September, we open a new exhibition of work by Zanele Muholi, featuring new self-portraits from Somnyama Ngonyama ("Hail the Dark Lioness"), new paintings, and a presentation of Faces and Phases, marking its twentieth anniversary, including new portraits made with Amsterdam's Black q***r community.⁠
⁠
Muholi's connection to this city runs deep: a 2009 residency at the Thami Mnyele Foundation, and in 2017, their first solo museum exhibition in the Netherlands at the Stedelijk Museum.⁠
⁠
Opening Friday 12 September,⁠
At Galerie Ron Mandos ⁠
Prinsengracht 282, Amsterdam ⁠

Looking back at the opening of Best of Graduates 2026 🎓🎈⁠
⁠
Last Friday, we celebrated the opening of the 19th edition of Best of Graduates at Galerie Ron Mandos. Curated by Radek Váňa, this year's exhibition brings together 27 outstanding graduates from art academies across the Netherlands, showcasing a new generation of emerging artists working across painting, photography, sculpture, textile, video, installation, and beyond. Pictured on the first slide are participating artists and the Galerie Ron Mandos team. ⁠
⁠
We were also delighted to present the RM Young Blood Award 2026 to Tom Allsop for his remarkable series Numbering Pools. The award was presented by Yvette van Caldenborgh of Museum Voorlinden during the festive opening.⁠
⁠
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this special evening, to Brouwerij 't IJ () for generously sponsoring the drinks and to BONNE Suits () for providing this year's Best of Graduates T-Shirts. ⁠
⁠
Best of Graduates 2026 remains on view through 30 August. We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery.⁠

Open Now: Art Brussels 2026 🇧🇪⁠
⁠
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our booth at Art Brussels, presenting works by Levi van Veluw, Renie Spoelstra, Hans Op de Beeck, Bouke de Vries, Tomáš Libertíny, Reza Aramesh, Katinka Lampe, Ivan Grubanov, Martijn Verzijl, Inti Hernandez, and a solo presentation by Renato Nicolodi.⁠
⁠
Highlights include Van Veluw’s new clay reliefs and sculptural forms with cracked, layered surfaces; Spoelstra’s large-scale charcoal drawings built from filmed landscapes; and Op de Beeck’s sculptural works. Libertíny presents works grown in collaboration with bees, while De Vries continues his exploration of fractured ceramics through his Memory Vessels. Aramesh shows marble sculptures based on reworked archival images, and Verzijl brings narrative ceramic pieces that reframe Dutch visual culture.⁠
⁠
A special focus is dedicated to Renato Nicolodi, who presents a solo installation: a dark, immersive space in which large-scale paintings are placed directly on the floor, accompanied by sculptural elements. The presentation creates a contained architectural environment that invites a slower, more concentrated way of looking.⁠
