In September 2019 the Draped Spaces series was exhibited at the Dedee Shattuck Gallery as part of the Dutch Colorists show that Pieter conceptualized and co-curated together with Ben Shattuck.
Dutch Colorists is a group show, in 2019 it included the work of Barbara Rink (whose work is shown in the invitation above), Daniel Mullen, Pieter de Bruyn Kops, Rob Bouwman, Willem van der Weide, and Neil Fortune. These artists, all living and working in the Netherlands, represent an exciting new artistic movement; though they are not consciously a group nor work in the same medium, their work revolves almost entirely around color.
“Abstract Colorism is a celebration of light, of creativity, of painting.
Color helps us define new forms of spatiality.”
The show captures a bright phenomenon and highlights another stage in Dutch painting: the spatial, playful, and abundant use of color.
