Sofie van Dam (1983)
Imagine and fantasize. That is what you are compelled to do on seeing her work. For Sofie van Dam (1983, Bruchem) photography is not only about registering what you do and see, but also what you don't. It's about contemplating content and composition to ultimately bring your own thoughts into being in the photograph. Seen or not seen (as the case may be), she always attempts to conjure up a thrilling image that calls on the imagination of the viewer. Sofie graduated last year from Royal School of Arts in den Haag. In 2007 and 2008 she won several prizes in different categories of the Dutch Photo Academy Award.
Kahmann Gallery presents a wonderful selection of both vintage and contemporary photographs from all artist represented by the gallery. Together they are a perfect embodiment of the heartbeat of the Kahmann Gallery and prove of its unique identity established since the foundation in 2004. Although quite different in age, meaning, content and technique, all works presented have a single thing in common: their origin in the creative spirit of a creator who transformed ideas, concepts, vision and feeling into an intriguing visual artwork that continues to induce both us and future generations. Let's share their imagination!
The exhibition contains over 30 photographs in both colour and black-and-white, vintage as well as contemporary work, from well-known artist and upcoming talents....
HUP Gallery mostly shows work of established photographers. Many times we have been asked about the star of the future. That's why we decided to organise a weekend in which we show the work of four very talented photographers. This weekend is the perfect chance to buy the work of the future stars, photographers that are at the beginning of a very promising career.
The first buyers are stimulated with a discount of 10%. Besides that we offer special, very affordable editions. On Saturday and Sunday there will be a bookstore with photo books of 'young' photographers, a portfolio review and a workshop for children.
Opening: Friday 5th from 17.30 till 22.00 hours with dj.
