WE ARE AAA
Hans Kleinjan (1958), Maikel Kleinjan (1984) and Roderik Faasen (1990)
started to paint together in the year 2009 in Rotterdam, Holland. Through the last ten years Hans, Maikel and Roderik developed a new handwriting. After having multiple exhibitions around Europe, they started their own gallery concept, called AAAFRESH123 (AAA Gallery). The majority of the paintings displayed in the gallery are threesome-collaborations. This gallery, located in Rotterdam, is unique in its kind, as it does not only display art but also gives visitors a taste of the creative process. By walking though a hole in the wall you will enter the atelier. Have a look in the virtual tour. Additionally, they were also involved in various artistic-activities ranging from live-painting at events like 'North Sea Jazz 2013', the 'Grand-Prix Monza 2014' and the 'MTV EMA Awards 2016'. MANIACISM
As an answer to ‘nihilism’, ‘cynicism’ and the unconsciousness the artist-trio of AAA developed a new art-movement, popularly known as 'maniacism'. It does not only describes the art itself as it is a lifestyle. Mania: An excessively intense enthusiasm, interest and desire for
something. The AAA Gallery grew out being the cult-livingroom of Rotterdam / The Netherlands after ten years of 'live-painting', exhibitions and shows. As Rotterdam grew up as one of the world cities, AAA grew together with it.
