The living world around us - Su Melo, Suzanne Plomp, Anne Marie Spijker. Until June 13.

Su Melo’s touchable ceramic sculptures function as agents that enable relationships not only among humans, but equally between ourselves and natural and artificial objects alike. Melo shows her recently created works inJapan.

Melo stayed for approximately six months as a studio artist at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga, Japan. Motivated by an interest in Japanese spiritual culture, she traveled not only within Shigaraki but also to Kanazawa, Shimane, and Ise, encountering Japan’s distinctive perspectives on spiritual culture and aesthetics. She notes that she sensed cultural affinities between Andean cultures, and Japan, particularly in how animistic traditions remain inseparable from everyday life.

De zon schijnt ! en in de schilderijen van Anne Marie Spijker lijkt het wel alsof de zon altijd schijnt! De heldere kleuren roepen een euforisch gevoel op. De natuur van land , wolken, zee worden verbeeld. Ervaringen, indrukken, herinneringsbeelden aan haar Griekse reizen. Heldere kleuren naast elkaar op allerlei plekken en momenten. Zelfs de schaduwen hebben kleur. Grote velden open, onbeschilderd doek versterken het gevoel van ruimte en licht. Spijker citeert Etel Adnan: “De overweldigende hoeveelheid kleur die de Middellandse Zee afgeeft, is de reflectie van de zon op het enorme oppervlak van het water .”

The living world around us - Su Melo, Suzanne Plomp, Anne Marie Spijker

the living world around us brings the work of 3 artists together. Suzanne Plomp explores in coloured pencil drawings the physical realm, the interior of the body, life in the soil and other systems operating beneath the surface. ‘Otherworldly’ is what characterises her work. Growth, metamorphosis and mutation unfold in lush networks of bodily tissue.
Su Melo’s touchable ceramic sculptures function as agents that enable relationships not only among humans, but equally between ourselves and natural and artificial objects alike. Melo shows her recently created works in the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan.

The publication “The Average Color of Paradise,” created during the COVID pandemic, is a database of 1,600 paradise colors.
(this publication was realized with support of the Elisabeth Vermaat Müller Fonds - Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds)

Using ‘Paradise’ as search term, 1600 images and descriptions of paradise have been collected from the internet. Next, these images have been translated into their average color value.
The descriptions found for the colors fictionalize paradise, resulting in a different story being told and a deconstruction of paradise taking place.

This publication serves as a foundation for bringing forward different stories about paradise :

For example:
Color no. 513: Homesickness for Paradise: in stock

Color no. 572: LOST IN PARADISE — photograph yourself in paradise

Photography 3:

It also offers the possibility for a more personal narrative. The result is a printed flag (100 cm x 150 cm), featuring your chosen color from the 1,600 paradise colors in this publication.

Feel free to get in touch with Galerie Sanaa to make your choice en enjoy it 🥰
