11 March – 6 May 2022 - NLMagazine Kunst & Cultuur – The Merchant House (TMH) returns to the art of painting with the exceptional recent work of Beppie Gielkens (1942, NL). The title refers to Gielkens’s singular view of her métier developed over five decades of artistic dedication. Her paintings can only be about the capacity of the body, and of her own body as a maker, for art: her life (split between her studio in the North of Friesland and long stays in Egypt) is intrinsically tied to her paintings; and so is life in general—impossible otherwise, that is, without painting.
